In our Tai Chi warmups, we do an excercize that "massages our internal organs and helps to keep them in proper alignment and will realign them if necessary to their proper place." The excercize feels good, but I just wonder about the internal organs getting out of wack. Thanks for any imput you have.

"Another profound benefit T’ai Chi provides is a gentle massaging of the internal organs. Because T’ai Chi

moves the body in about 95 percent of the possible motions it can go through, it not only clears the joints of

calcium deposits, but it also gently massages the internal organs.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this is a powerful therapy for optimum health. TCM recognizes that

the body is an integrated whole whereby all the parts are connected by the flow of Qi. In fact, the Chinese

system of medicine is built upon a Zang Fu graph, which shows how organs interact with and depend on

one another for good healthy function.

The Zang Fu system uses a memory model, applying each organ to one of the five elements of the earth. The Chinese see the world as made of Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, and Fire. The energy flow affects different organs through the Sheng Cycle and the Ko cycle.

Therefore, because T’ai Chi massages all the organs through its gentle full rotations, it helps to balance all the integrating activities of the Zang Fu systems."
