once asked Bo-Yang, his master, What really is Tai' Chi Gung?
Bo-Yang replied, "Tai' Chi Gung is the owner's manual for the
physical body."
Think for a moment. When you buy a new vehicle, you receive a
nice slick owner’s manual. You may never really look at it,
but it is filled with information about how your vehicle is designed
to function, what it can do and how to maintain it. You may not
understand it or use it, but at least you have it. On the other
hand, most human beings sort of squeegee in to the earth, they don’t
have any real idea how the body works or what it is truly capable
of. And they often don’t manage to learn much about it until some
part of it doesn’t work correctly.
The physical body is a miracle. It is a miraculous gift of God. But
in truth, we’re on the “rent with an option to buy” plan. We must
learn to use it properly or we’ll eventually lose it. What is truly
profound about Tai’ Chi Gung, is that it can equip every individual
who adopts the practice with the knowledge and resources to rebuild,
restore, maintain and improve their basic health function on a daily
basis. Within the eight aspects of Chi that follow, you’ll come to
understand the profound regenerative power that is waiting to be
discovered within your own body right now.
