Holistic health

The Harvard Medical School Guide to Tai Chi lists 8 ingredients that promote good health:

1. Awareness (including mindfulness & focussed attention)
2. Intention
3. Structural integration (including dynamic form & function)
4. Active relaxation
5. Strengthening & flexibility
6. Natural, freer breathing
7. Social support (including interaction & community)
8. Embodied spirituality (including wisdom & ritual)

These 8 tai chi components offer a multi-layered approach to the cultivation of fitness, vitality and wellbeing.
