Healing Tai Chi Postures

Tai Chi heals the body by sending internal energy flow to each functional organ, via the acupuncture meridians. The movement of each posture in the Form directs chi to a different organ. Some organs are more important than others. Therefore, some of the postures double up and send the energy to the same area. The list below is a small sample of the possible positions and uses of tai chi to heal the body.
