Locally,\u00a0Shaolin Temple Grand Master Shi DeRu,<\/p>\n<p>along with other Shaolin Institute instructors and students, will demonstrate and teach the ancient Chinese<\/p>\n<p>healing art of\u00a0Tai Chi\u00a0(pronounced &#8220;tie-chee&#8221;) and\u00a0Tai Gong.<\/p>\n<p>People of all ages, fitness levels and abilities are invited to enjoy the great energy of Qi Gong (&#8220;chee-gung&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>and\u00a0Tai Gongbreathing mind-body exercises and to learn basic\u00a0Tai Chi\u00a0movements under Grand Master Shi<\/p>\n<p>DeRu and his highly trained instructors.<\/p>\n<p>These ancient arts not only provide significant health benefits, but have the added advantage of enduing the<\/p>\n<p>participant with a &#8220;great feeling of happy Qi.&#8221;Tai Gong, a combination of\u00a0Tai Chi and Qi Gong, consists of<\/p>\n<p>simple, slow, fluid movements that, along with freely conscious deep breathing, create a calmness of mind<\/p>\n<p>that communicates and frees the body, mind, and spirit.<\/p>\n<p>More than 20 years ago, Grandmaster Shi DeRu, also known as\u00a0Shawn Liu, founder and headmaster of<\/p>\n<p>Shaolin Institute, brought\u00a0Tai Gong\u00a0and traditional\u00a0Shaolin Tai Chi\u00a0to the U.S., opening schools and training<\/p>\n<p>students throughout the country.<\/p>\n<p>He has devoted his life to helping people and is doing so through generous community outreach, such<\/p>\n<p>as World Tai Chi Day, Asian cultural celebrations, and brilliant martial arts performances by his highly<\/p>\n<p>acclaimed Shaolin Institute Performance Team. Over the years, DeRu has developed\u00a0Tai Gong, his<\/p>\n<p>amalgamation of\u00a0Tai Chi\u00a0and Qi Gong, designed to redirect the body&#8217;s natural positive healing energy,<\/p>\n<p>or &#8220;qi,&#8221; to transform the body&#8217;s realization of health and well-being.<\/p>\n<p>This dynamic positive energy penetrates and permeates through the body broadcasting natural healing qi<\/p>\n<p>waves to the world to help millions of others in a positive and healing way, thus producing an environment of<\/p>\n<p>health, peace, and compassion around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Cutting edge research conducted by\u00a0Harvard University\u00a0researchers confirmed what the ancient Chinese<\/p>\n<p>Masters have known for over 3,000 years &#8211; that\u00a0Tai Chi\u00a0has a significant, beneficial health impact on the<\/p>\n<p>whole body, particularly on the heart, muscles, bones, nerves, immune system, and the mind. Moreover,<\/p>\n<p>these mind\/body health benefits can be realized by performing\u00a0Tai Chi\u00a0just a few minutes every day.\u00a0Tai<\/p>\n<p>Chi\u00a0appears to aid in treating or preventing many of today&#8217;s most crippling health conditions, such as high<\/p>\n<p>blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. Combined with traditional treatment,\u00a0Tai Chi\u00a0helps<\/p>\n<p>treat anxiety, depression, back pain, arthritis, low bone density, breast cancer, Parkinson&#8217;s disease, and<\/p>\n<p>sleep disorders and reduces rehabilitation time following a stroke.<\/p>\n<p>Grand Master Shi DeRu has helped many students overcome life-threatening conditions that did not<\/p>\n<p>respond well to conventional therapies. He credits this success to the &#8220;mindset&#8221; his students developed with<\/p>\n<p>the training, practice, and mastery of these ancient therapeutic techniques.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on World Tai Chi Day or\u00a0Tai Chi\u00a0classes, please call Shaolin Institute Atlanta at:<\/p>\n<p>770-286-9808 or visit:www.shaolin-world.net.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.shaolin-world.net<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grand Master Shi DeRu Conducts Zen Meditation on Consciousness &#8211; Health &amp; Happiness on World Tai Chi &amp; Qi Gong Day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,7,8,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-press-releases","category-school-in-the-news","category-upcoming-events"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shaolin-world.net\/nola\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shaolin-world.net\/nola\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shaolin-world.net\/nola\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shaolin-world.net\/nola\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shaolin-world.net\/nola\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/shaolin-world.net\/nola\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/957\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shaolin-world.net\/nola\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shaolin-world.net\/nola\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shaolin-world.net\/nola\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
