Tai chi's impact on an individual can be immense, changing your view of yourself and everything around you.  Tai chi solo exercise or "form" has many levels of expertise.  For those simply wishing to improve their health, correct practice of the basic level form will yield pleasing benefits.  Increased vitality, improved general well-being and a sense of calmness are common reports from students.  Greater benefits accrue as you progress to the higher levels of expertise.  Increased spiritual awareness, flexibility and robust good health are the rewards.

A change in the way you react to situations will take place also.  A calm enters your life and tense situations become less so.  Such immense changes, however, do not come without some effort, and consistent practice is essential.  Eventually, the ability to circulate chi (vital energy) freely around your body can be achieved, with accompanying improvements in health.
