Tai Chi has its origins in ancient China. It works on the Yin and Yang energy systems of the body which is called Chi. Tai Chi has become popular in the West because it combines meditation with movement. Unlike most forms of Yoga, Tai Chi movements are easier to perform, have a shorter learning curve and are focused on enhancing and energizing the body from an internal and mental perspective.

Chi Bell™ improves whole body health and vitality through the integration of Eastern and Western exercise methods.  Chi Bell™ exercises work through the body’s system of meridians (meridians are the body’s energy pathways which when blocked can cause a person to become vulnerable to ill health). The meridians help the flow of life energy around the body. There are two forms of energy, Yin and Yang.  Yin meridians flow upward through the body and Yang meridians have  a downward flow through the body.

Chi Bell™ exercises correspond to the twelve primary meridians of the body: the kidneys, liver, spleen, heart, lungs, pericardium, bladder, gall bladder, stomach, small and large intestines, and the triple burner (body temperature regulator). These meridians are symmetrical on the right and left sides of the body, and they all interconnected with one another.

Restoring the balance of your energies is the ultimate goal in improving overall health and well being with Chi Bell™.

Complementary practitioners (acupuncturists, Chinese herbalists, massage therapists, etc) assist clients in repairing dysfunctioning areas within their meridian systems to restore a natural balance of Chi. Chi Bell™ uses light kettlebells that help you to tap into these energy fields very effectively, to open up the meridian pathways and thus to strengthen the flow of Chi and release negative energies and stress, helping you to rebalance your body’s energy.

The kettlebells utilise ground forces representing the upward Yin energy, and gravity representing the downward Yang energy. Chi Bell™ is a highly fluid exercise system that synchronizes the mind, body, and breath in a moving meditation to exert balance and influence the whole body.
