Taiji Ruler Qigong is an ancient longevity and healing exercise attributed to the 10th century Taoist hermit, Chen Xiyi. The gentle rocking movements, combined with simple hand gestures, stimulates energy in the feet, lower back, abdomen, and hands, clearing blocked pathways and building a tremendous reserve of healing qi (energy).

It is a great practice for personal wellbeing and to warm and charge up the hands for massage or a healing hug or handshake! Ken Cohen’s Taiji Ruler teacher, B. P. Chan, learned directly from a student of Zhao Zhongdao (died age 118), who opened the first Taiji Ruler Health Clinic in Beijing in 1954.
