Pace of Life (Prediction Magazine, 1998)
Tai Chi, along with other creative activities that encourage full absorption in the present moment, may contribute to healthier ageing by altering our perception of time and reducing stress. Slow, deliberate movement combined with focused attention can encourage relaxation, potentially lowering metabolic stress and supporting overall wellbeing, although claims about slowing the biological ageing process remain speculative.
 Moving Meditation (Prediction Magazine, 1998)
Practising moving meditation helps cultivate balance by allowing ingrained, largely unconscious motor patterns to guide the body while the conscious mind remains calmly attentive. This requires sustained, undivided focus: careful attention to detail occupies the conscious mind, creating conditions in which deeper, automatic processes can operate more freely.
Wand of Health (Tai Chi Union for Great Britain Magazine, 2010)
The Chinese Wand Exercise is a straightforward yet effective system centred on the controlled handling of a bamboo pole. The exercises combine slow diaphragmatic breathing with gentle stretching and strengthening movements intended to improve circulation and support cardiovascular health. The method is adaptable to a wide range of physical abilities and can serve as a valuable form of therapeutic exercise.
