First you must be still,
Then your mind can be steady.
Once your mind is steady,
You are able to be calm.
Only when you are calm,
Are you able to comtemplate and obtain.
Confucius

In China, Taijiquan is considered a natural method to maintain health. The Chinese believe that in changing their physical aspect through proper exercise, they simultaneously change the psychological and emotional aspects of their being. Therefore, Taijiquan is regarded as a therapeutic treatment also referred to as

"The Fountain of Youth" and "The Way Toward Abundant Life".
