Tai Chi is often described as moving meditation. When the postures are more correct and one begins to first feel qi in the hands, another level of concentration is required to micro-adjust the body more internally to improve the feeling of qi and make it more clear and full. Higher levels can only be reached through being more calm and connected to oneself and the present moment. Some people find it hard to calm down by doing sitting meditation, so doing Tai Chi helps many people achieve a meditative state when moving.
Meditation is not only an excellent means to achieve deep rest, calm the mind, as distracting or worrying thoughts disappear while one practices and enters into the present moment, but also it is an effective way to train the mind to be sharply focused during mental activities in everyday life.
