On my last trip to China I was amazed when I looked out of my hotel room window early in the morning. I saw graceful images of people gliding through dance-like poses as they practiced Tai Chi. Simply watching them is relaxing. Tai Chi, in fact, is often described as “meditation in motion” because it promotes serenity through gentle movements — connecting the mind and body. Originally developed in China as a form of self-defense, tai chi is a graceful form of exercise that has existed for over 2,000 years.

To do tai chi, you perform a series of postures or movements in a slow, graceful manner. Each posture flows into the next without pausing. Tai chi has more than 100 possible movements and positions. You can find several that you like and stick with those, or explore the full range. The intensity of tai chi varies somewhat depending on the form or style practiced. Some forms of tai chi are more fast-paced than others, for instance. However, most forms are gentle and suitable for everyone. And they all include rhythmic patterns of movement that are coordinated with breathing.

Tai Chi is excellent to:

- Reduce Stress
- Reduce Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Improve Balance
- Exercise
- Increase Emotional Well-Being

I will try it out, as it is a nice change to my yoga and cardio exercise:-).

In winter we all are more likely to get depressed or just be in a bad mood because of the lack of light. Here are some tips to keep your spirits high in these cold and dark days:

Use the bit of light that is left. Even though it’s wet and dark you should take your chance to catch a bit of light winter has to offer.
Go out during lunchtime or for a walk for at least half an hour rather then taking the bus, tube or car. Plan a trip for the weekend; you are more likely to enjoy even harsh days in a new environment. How about a trip to the countryside or the Alps, where you can leave all worries and the bad weather behind you?

You also can change your everyday habits: Make sure there is enough light when you wake up- you will feel instantly better and it’s much easier to get up.
Arrange different sources of light for your living room, light and shadow create a cosy atmosphere.

Try a light meditation. Stand up straight and concentrate on preferably a white wall. Take a couple of deep breathes. When you feel calm and relaxed imagine while you breathe in a bright light in your heart which flows when you breathe out through your whole body up to your fingertips and toes. Concentrate on your inner light getting stronger and more intense with every breath.
