Talk about your favourite way to relax
What I like doing to relax is practicing Tai Chi. There is a nice park near my home where I can practice it in comfort. I usually practice it in the morning, I go because if you practice it in the evening it may be difficult for you to sleep. I will try to continue this hobby if I go overseas. I am not sure how much time I will have, but I"ll try to see if any clubs exist. I do know some of the moves, so I will probably be practicing it at home. I first started Tai Chi when I was 20 years old. I had never tried it before that time because I had always thought it was just for old people. The first day I tried it, I really felt great, although I still wasn"t sure about all the movements.
Basically with Tai Chi I just practice a very smooth flow and try to regulate my breathing for maximum effect. So I just float my hands in various patterns and learn to exhale and inhale according to the harmony of my movements.
I think the feeling it gives you is hard to describe. Your concentration must be very solid, and that"s not always easy to do. Afterwards, you will feel at peace, although you may also experience some slight stiffness. I think it will make you feel that all things in life can be controlled and handled smoothly, just like your body. I mean, your body is a very complex instrument, so if you can control that first you can control anything, no matter how complex it is.
