The Tai Chi Ruler is a unique method of cultivating your Qi or internal life energy. It makes use of a special wooden stick or Ruler that you hold in the hands. Both ends of the Ruler are spherical in shape and fit comfortably on the center of the palms. This serves to stimulate important acupuncture points in the palms, especially the Lao Gong point on the center of the palms, and assists the feeling of Qi inside the body. Using the Ruler helps to connect the mind, body and Qi, and naturally draw the awareness to the practice. You will find your mind quiet and calm, and experience deep relaxation.
