THAI CHI

Thai Chi has been described as poetry in motion for its slow, graceful, almost dance-like actions. The martial arts based choreography includes circular motions, subtle weight shifting, focused breathing to empty the mind, and soft stretches that engage the body with minimal exertion. As long as you don’t dwell on the occult part, Thai Chi is a wholesome exercise for the old bones – right?
Wrong!
Thai Chi is not just body training. Thai Chi is mind AND body training (and in that order) with ties to the occult; with roots in Taoism, with Hindu or Buddhist rituals; with guided imagery; with focused breathing; with nature-infused visualizations; with harmonizing the mind, body and spirit. All these are aspects of Eastern religions and in direct conflict with Christianity.
Where can exercise end and ‘fostering the flow of chi’ begin? Thai Chi experts cannot just focus on physical exercise, because that would not be Thai Chi. At some point all Thai Chi experts dwell into the religious component of Thai Chi. Oh, there might be several sessions without anything out of the ordinary. And then one day you are in touch with your spirit guide.
