Get ‘supreme, ultimate’
health through tai chi chuan |
|
By Perry Gil S. Mallari
THE 10-minute or so routine was a sight to
behold. There were no traces of hard edges in the movements; the
transitions flowed from one phase to another like links of a chain.
Tai chi chuan, which literally means “supreme ultimate fist,” is
a soft-style martial art from China that is also an integral part of
traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Traditional Chinese doctors
prescribe the practice of tai chi together with acupressure,
acupuncture, moxabustion, Chinese herbology, Tuin Na (massage) and
chi kung to regulate a person’s chi or life force in healing
various diseases.

Stress and the skin
|
|
HOW stress triggers some skin diseases like

doctors. I’m sure even Dr. House would agree with this. In most
cases, the exact cause of the allergic reaction remains unknown.

The art of doing
nothing
|
|
THE Yuletide and New Year holiday is always a
wonderful time to spend idly, often a good opportunity to take stock
of one’s life in the past year, and a chance to just take a
much-needed breather from all the stress...

Do people still want
to get married?
|
|
IS marriage, as we know it, going out of style?
We are all aware that the institution of marriage is under attack.
Hollywood, MTV and other media have trivialized it. Couples are
breaking up in increasing numbers in many parts of the world.
