"Life Energy Flow Tai Yi is a healing art that is focused on creating a balanced flow of energy within the meridian system, within the human body. While this is simple philosophy, the practical application is quite intricate. The human body is a complex biological organism in and of itself. When ones understand that environmental changes continiously occur, the ancestral heritage of the body and the impact each individual consciousness has in regards to their own body consciousness, they begin to see the greater whole of health.
Tai Yi offers thousands of specific treatments for particular imbalances. some treatments will work to reinforce the chi or life energy of a specific organ. A different treatment will work to release energy from the same organ, while another may work to create a synergy between organs. Each treatment is very specific in it's function and application.
In order for a treatment to be fully effective, the practioner must send propoer energy into the correct place in a specified order. In addition, the individuals receiving this treatment must recognize their own ability to first accept and then carry this energy. This occurs through reinforcing the movement created with their voluntary consciousness. A change will always be temporary unless it's reinforced and maintained through choice.
Philosophy of Tai Yi
One of the unique aspects of this practice is its philosophical teachings. Tai Yi does not recognize any devine deity. There are no rights or rituals that one need perform. However, there are many fundamental principles and teachings regarding life, the purpose of the individual and the neature of the soul.
The fundamental belief, the philosophy is built upon, is the idea that everything is energy and all energy carries consciousness; meaning everything has the ability to experience, create or influence change. It is taught the fundamental nature of all consciousness is to grow and evolve on its own path of spiritual evolution.
This fundamental belief creates a picture of a reality in which there is no supreme power, except one's own ability to grow and evolve one's own awareness and skills. No single path will lead all to enlightenment or fullfilment in life. All are unique souls with different talents and carry their own individual unique consciousness. The nature of the universe is seen as a school. Life is a physical reality that promotes the growth and evolution of the spirit." (Life is Flowing Energy by Joseph Armenio)
