Biological Longevity

I first came across Tai Chi in Hong Kong. It was seven in the morning and I couldn't find a cup of coffee to reboot my early morning brain. So I decided to take a walk in the park and as I strolled I became mystified by the many local residents practising body movements to the enchanting lull of traditional Chinese music. I sat down and watched the slow movements of each person and then noticed a certain grace in poise and serentiy of being. There and then I resolved to learn more about Tai Chi and how to harness an energy potential that I did not know I had before.   For myself the study of Tai Chi became a personal journey and flow towards a sense of mental independence.

As a professional trader I learnt very quickly that I had to empty my mind and balance my spirit before I could sense the wind and it's direction. That's not as easy as one would think; in fact it took me many years of practise in order to cultivate a state of inner clam. But persistence pays it's dividends and in this sense I learnt how to tame my mind and ultimately to control my time. My search for inner calm and patience evolved from learning deep breathing excercises, fasting, finding solitude in nature and among other things, yes, learning to balance stones.     The art of balancing stones, also known as stone stacking or rock balancing, involves the careful arrangement of rocks or stones in a way that they can balance on top of each other without the use of any adhesive or support. It is a form of sculpture that requires a high level of patience, concentration, and skill. Stone balancing can be done with various types of stones, ranging from small pebbles to large bo...
