Recent research showed that Tai Chi was a more effective Stroke Rehabilitation therapy than the U.S. Medicare covered SilverSneakers Program. It is increasingly apparent that U.S. Medicare and private insurers should cover Tai Chi and Qigong, to reduce our nation's health costs. Our Tai Chi Medical Research Library enabled Australian Tai Chi teacher, Rod Ferguson, to create a proposal that resulted in his Australian State government's funding of a senior services program for Tai Chi for seniors as a way to lower their nation's future health costs.

WorldTaiChiDay.org "Recommended reading" on the science of mindfulness meditation, tai chi and qigong

The Harvard Medical School Guide to Tai Chi

"The Harvard Medical School Guide to Tai Chi" by Dr. Peter Wayne is an excellent resource on understanding the medical research on Tai Chi. Dr. Peter Wayne is not only a Tai Chi researcher, but a Tai Chi practitioner able to understand this ancient practice as a mind-body health technology in a very profound way.

WorldTaiChiDay.org recommends this as a MUST READ for not just Tai Chi enthusiasts, but even more importantly for every Tai Chi teacher. When Tai Chi teachers are aware of the medical research on Tai Chi, it enables them to educate their students and community about the profound potential of Tai Chi to not only help people avoid or treat health issues, but to ultimately save our society trillions of dollars in future health costs..

The Way of Qigong: The Art and Science of Chinese Energy Medicine

Master Ken Cohen's ground-breaking book, "The Way of Qigong: The Art and Science of Chinese Energy Medicine," explains the science behind the ancient arts of Qigong and Tai Chi. This book can help Tai Chi and Qigong teachers explain the physical dynamics of their arts in a modern, scientific way that can enable students to relax open to the practices more quickly. 

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) it is understood that the better a patient understands the treatment, the more effective the treatment is. Tai Chi and Qigong are one of the 3 core pillars of TCM: Acupuncture, Herbology, and Tai Chi/Qigong. This book is really a must read for anyone curious about, or already practicing Tai Chi and Qigong.

The Relaxation Response

Dr. Herbert Benson, of Harvard Medical School, was the pioneer who brought mind-body meditative practices into the halls of medical science, with his profound book "The Relaxation Response." His book explains and shares the medical and scientific research on mindfulness meditative practices.

After finishing this book you will KNOW that making meditation part of your daily life is the only rational thing to do. The science on meditation is so profound that it is literally crazy not to have meditation as part of one's daily life. .
