Tai Chi May Be The Best Do Over There Is.

I was just reading another of those little know facts that got me thinking about tai chi again.  It got me thinking how we might not only become more physically able due to practicing tai chi, but that maybe we get something more valuable than a renewed body.  What could be even more important than becoming more physically able?  I’ll tell you in sec.

When a new student shows up at the school where I study and teach we like to joke around saying that the younger students are actually much older than they look.  It’s just that tai chi has helped them turn back the clock.  It always gets a little chuckle and some people do seem to get the deeper meaning.  The deeper meaning being that it’s as if tai chi really does let us turn back the clock.

It may not give you the kind of “do over” that would allow you to choose a different career, as many people seem to fantasize over.  However, it can help you feel like you have extra time, or at the very least that you have a higher quality of life while you’re still kickin’ around.

What’s this little known fact?  It’s the extra time you get by flying the Concord from London to New York.

“Flying from London to New York by Concord, due to the time zones crossed, you can arrive 2 hours before you leave.”

So while tai chi may not actually give you more time in your day, or a nifty do over, it will make you feel like a new person.  You might say it’s the Concord of health.  Your thoughts?
