At The School of Tai Chi and Esoteric Arts.David is so enjoying himself during his break from teaching that he doesn't know when he will start again. Maybe Jan 2007; maybe not at all. Write him if you want to start as his decision partly depends on numbers. Tai Chi classes are always ongoing. Both beginning and more advanced students benefit from instruction at their appropriate level. The Yang style Tai Chi (Taoist) pattern is relatively easy to learn for any beginners. Further practice then allows you to express and understand some of your inner potential.

This course includes many of the internal alchemical exercises offered by the School that complement the Tai Chi and promote both physical and mental well-being.

David personally oversees all the classes and is able to provide advancing students with a deeper knowledge of the art.

As the Tai Chi set builds upon itself, beginner students are encouraged to come on the first day of each new session. Experienced practitioners of Taoist Tai Chi are welcome anytime and will no doubt gain some new perspective to their training.

Although the emphasis is not on Martial Arts, David's experience allows accomplished Martial Practitioners to fully appreciate the potential within the movements.

During Tai Chi sessions, the students will be encouraged and guided through various Internal Arts exercises. Variety will be the theme and some but not all will be practised at various sessions. These will quiet the mind and make your Tai Chi develop into a new experience. A balance of Yin and Yang emerging from within

Internal exercises : Standing meditation, Falun Qong, Chi Kung, (these are designed to cultivate internal energy, open the meridians and harmonize the balance and flow of energy), Tibetan exercise of paradox, ( this harmonizes the two hemispheres of the brain) Precious Vessel Chi Kung (Buddhist), Nine Rotations to bring back the Spiritual Elixir, Macrocosmic Circulation, Kidney Chi Kung etc. You can read of David's 1962 kundalini awakening in his e book. See under "Topics".

Breathing exercises : Pranayama, Tibetan exercise for raising energy (wonderful way of opening up subtle perception etc), Breath of Fire (as taught this kriya reduces the power of the ego and opens awareness to subtle areas), Taoist reversed breathing to circulate energy in micro cosmic orbit, various alchemical breathing meditations e.g. strengthening kidneys etc, Breathing to bring light to third eye, other Kriyas.

Silence : Meditation. So important! Reducing the chatter and clutter of the mind and finding your identity in Being. Various techniques of internal alchemy will be taught.
