Experience the great depth of Chan practice through the combination of Ta-chi with Chan meditation. The modern person–who is often busy, stressed, and tense–can use this approach to relax, and to be more free and at ease in body and mind. Not only does Tai-chi Moving Meditation help to improve your health, it can help you to concentrate the mind, and further, to unify the body and mind.
