| 2001-06-27 | Nada | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | I thank you for your prompt response. I understand Tai Chi to be a method of meditation that can assist the seeker with reacquainting himself with his spiritual balance, as well as provide excercise for the body, and relaxation for the mind. I am trying to get intune with my spiritual balance and I was debating between the two methods/forms of Tai Chi and Yoga. |

Expertise
I have been doing yoga and meditation for more than twenty years. Like most people, I am doing this to find peace of mind, and to get to the depths of my being. On the way, I am discovering my connection with the universe and God. Spirituality brings out the best in yourself, but in the beginning also the worst... There are a lot of obstacles on the way to peace of mind. Most people stop when they encounter the first difficulties with meditation and never get to know their full potential. I have gone through a lot of such difficulties; and I found it worth the effort! Now I want to help others who go through the same problems, or who have questions about meditation and spirituality in general.
Experience
If you measure and display your accomplishments in spirituality, you haven't accomplished anything spiritual yet.
