Similar to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, Taoism believes in the existence of the vital life force, termed qi (or chi, pronounced "chee"), and the opposing world forces, yin and yang. Tai chi is thought to offer a variety of other "quality of life" benefits such as improved concentration, an increased sense of well-being, greater energy, improved posture and better circulation.2 The health benefits of tai chi will not persist if the exercises are stopped. The American Cancer Society reports the tai chi promotes longevity and good health and may be used in relieving tension, stress, muscle wasting and fatigue associated with cancer.
