Tai Chi'nin kelime anlamı nedir?

Tai Chi'nin kelime anlamı: Esas, Nihai, En Temel, Ana Kaynak ya da Yüce Mutlaktır. Tai Chi kavramı Çin öğretilerinin evren kuramından gelir. Önce wu-chi (無極 -vuji - Wu = Hiçlik, Boşluk, Sıfır; Chi = Enerji) yani hiçlik, kutupsuz hal, devinimsizlik, yokluğun yokluğu, sınırsız, varlığın nihai noktası vardır. Kutuplaşma ve devinim Yin ile Yang olarak çıkar. İşte bu ilk kutuplaşma ve ilk devinime Tai Chi denir. Tai Chi (aynı zamanda Taiji veya tamamen Tai Chi Chuan -Taijiquan 太極拳 olarak da yazılır), sağlıklı bir beden ve zihin için belki de en etkili yoldur.

What is Tai Chi (taiji)?

Aslen Çin'de keşişler tarafından kendini savunma için geliştirilen Tai Chi, günümüzde dünya çapında stres atma, denge, güç, koordinasyon ve bilişsel gelişim için kullanılan zarif bir egzersiz biçimine dönüşmüştür. Nazik, akıcı hareketlerle bir dinginlik ve sakinlik hissini teşvik ettiği için genellikle hareketli meditasyon veya gölge boksu olarak tanımlanır. Tai Chi hareketleri yavaş ve odaklanarak (dikkatle) yapılır. Nefes almak derin ve rahattır.

Tai Chi, iç organlara masaj yapmak için hafif esneme ve dönme hareketlerini içeren rekabetçi olmayan bir egzersizdir. Her duruş, vücudun sürekli hareket halinde olmasını sağlayarak, bir sonrakine sorunsuz bir şekilde akar.

Tai Chi, tıpkı derin bir nehir gibi dingin bir akışa ve dipten gelen bir güce sahiptir.

The Meaning of Tai Chi

The literal meaning of Tai Chi is: Essential, Ultimate, Most Fundamental, Main Source or Supreme Absolute. The concept of Tai Chi comes from the universe theory of Chinese teachings. First there is wu-chi (無極 -vuji - Wu = Nothingness, Void, Zero; Chi = Energy), that is, nothingness, a state without polarity, motionlessness, absence of nothingness, limitless, the ultimate point of existence. Polarization and motion emerge as Yin and Yang. This first polarization and first motion is called Tai Chi.

Tai Chi (also spelled Taiji or altogether Tai Chi Chuan -Taijiquan 太極拳) is perhaps the most effective way to a healthy body and mind.
