This article was first published in T’ai Chi magazine in the Summer of 2015. It has a medical explanation of the CranioSacral Postural reflex of Tai Chi, which can correct bad postural problems when the aforementioned Tai Chi reflex makes your head feel so light that it was like floating in the air. Ancient Tai Chi masters could never find an explanation because they did not know human anatomy. If you want to learn more about this CranioSacral Postural reflex of Tai Chi you have to learn some human anatomy. The CranioSacral Postural reflex of Tai Chi has been explained in details in my article in the April 2014 issue of this magazine. The following is a short description: The two physical signs of the CranioSacral Postural reflex of Tai Chi, called Qì tiē bèi 氣貼背 Chinese and Ding tou xuan頂頭懸 in Chinese can be summed up as, “The abdominal part below the umbilicus seems to adhere to the spine and the adhesion intensifies with the Tai Chi moves. This is the Qì tiē bèi sign. The Ding tou xuan sign means that the head feels as light as if it was floating in the air.”

The following is a comment from a viewer, רונית לוי of the above video, “I strongly recommend Dr. G Ho, writings and videos, He is a deep researcher and practitioner and his ideas and views can enrich every serious student.”

It is actually my goal to develop Tai Chi and meditation as a combination of Dong gong (the Yang, the positive, the moving element) and Jing gong (the Yin, the complement of the positive, the static element) as a form of practice for health and exercises in our modern era. Compared to the famous Tai Chi martial arts masters like the founder of Yang style Tai Chi, Master Yang Luchan (1799–1872) we are living in a very different world. We seldom have to fight physically like them. We have a much longer lifespan, which could be a burden if we do not have a healthy body and mind. Our lifestyle is more stressful and therefore we need ways to release stress and to have quality sleep every night. However, many instructors claim that the traditional Tai Chi moves have secret functions that have not be revealed. For instance, some cite the miraculous “Ling Kong Jin” or empty force. One who has mastered empty force is supposed to be able to manipulate opponents without any physical contact. From my analysis “Ling Kong Jin” is possible but is unreliable and therefore useless and even dangerous if one depends on this for self-defense. For a more in-depth discussion please read my aforementioned Kindle book, “The Correct Interpretations of Two Important Tai Chi Concepts: “鬆開 Song kai” and Peng jin 弸 勁”. From my four decades of experiences in Tai Chi and Chan (Zen in Japanese) meditation, I have found that the guidelines for these two complementary practices can be applied to many physical and mental activities in our daily living. As a result, we remain healthy like a young person, For instance, I needed glasses for presbyopia in my late 40s but in my late 60s I found out that I did not need glasses to read, to write and to drive. I am 72 now in 2018 and this visual health improvement remains unchanged. Physically I feel like a middle age person too. This is why I want to share my experiences in my Kindle books and YouTube videos.
