Acquiring the CranioSacral Postural Reflex with Meditation and Tai Chi for Longevity and Enlightenment

Tai Chi needs objective and scientific researches like that of Professor Herbert Benson:After studying the meditation method of (Transcendental Meditation TM) with MRI Professor Herbert Benson of Harvard has summarized his findings with the concept, called "The Relaxation Response", which uses the alpha brainwave as the observable evidence exhibited during Transcendental Meditation (TM). His findings have proven that certain physical activities can elicit mental and physical relaxation and his method is a lot easier. The "Relaxation Response method is to sit quietly in a comfortable position for ten minutes, counting one''s breathing." (Benson)The Tai Chi CranioSacral Postural Reflex is similar to the "Relaxation Response"because similar to the observable alpha brain wave that indicates the presence of "Relaxation Response" the Tai Chi CranioSacral Postural Reflex can be subjectively felt by the practitioners and their posture can be measured, studied and compared in experiments. The Tai Chi CranioSacral Postural Reflex is coined by Dr. George Ho from the quotations of the following Tai Chi classics written by Wángzōngyuè王宗岳（1771~1853）and Wǔyǔxiāng武禹襄 (1812-1880), "牽動往來氣貼背Qiāndòng wǎnglái qì tiē bèi, meaning, the abdominal part below the umbilicus seems to adhere to the spine and the adhesion intensifies with the Tai Chi moves;滿身輕利頂頭懸Mǎn shēn qīng lì dǐngtóu xuán, meaning, the head feels as light as if it was floating in the air." according to both After hundreds of years of accumulated experiences by many Tai Chi masters who reported that practicing Tai Chi as a set of slow movements in meditation can enhance the aforementioned postural reflex (I have coined this acquired postural reflex as the CranioSacral Postural Reflex) The above quotations are originally from at least two of the Tai Chi classics. The first one, 《十三勢行功心解Shísān shì xíng gōng xīn jiě》 was written by王宗岳Wángzōngyuè（1771~1853 by estimation）. Master Wang wrote, "The abdominal part below the umbilicus seems to be adhering towards the spine and the head feels as light as if it was floating in the air ...所謂頂頭懸也...牽動往來氣貼背".In another Tai Chi classics《十三勢歌訣 Shísān shì gējué》written by another Tai Chi sage, 武禹襄Wǔyǔxiāng (1812-1880 "The energy of a correctly manipulated sacrum of a Tai Chi practitioner with real Tai Chi kung fu can be sent up to the head, which will then feel as light as if it was floating in the air. 尾閭正中神貫頂，滿身輕利頂頭懸 Wěi lǘ zhèngzhòng shén guàn dǐng, mǎn shēn qīng lì dǐngtóu xuán。" https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/太極十三勢 and http://www.ystjq.com/jd03.htm The subjective experiences of these ancient sages have never been objectively or medically explained in the fashion like Prof. Benson, who uses the Alpha brain wave to objectively verify the Relaxation Response of the mind and the body of the meditative practices of various religious practices, especially that silent chanting of the TM practitioners. This booklet tries to fill this vacuum, supplying medical theories and more tangible findings of the observed CranioSacral Postural Reflex, which is a modernized concept of Tai Chi created by Dr. George Ho, the author of this booklet.In my Med Rehab Tai Chi (Ho, George Ho 2010) I have collected many medically-based theories that have proven the therapeutic effects of Tai Chi, meditation, yoga.Traditionally Tai Chi as a form of martial arts and meditation in various stationary poses are taught laboriously with many details regarding postures and movements. However, the basic foundation to build this internal kung fu is usually vaguely instructed. I am trying to fill this vacuum. As an example, please watch my YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otgArQz1KKkAn easier way to get the basic kung fu for opening the Central Meridian Chanting and singing are two ways that I have recommended. Dantian singing is shown in the video that can be searched with,"Dantian singing as a form of Self-cultivation of tai chi by Dr. George Ho"
