The Tai Chi Space

The Tai Chi Space Taoist meditation and neigong, medical qigong, tai chi and bagua with Paul Cavel since 1995

The Tai Chi Space in Islington Park was established by Paul Cavel to teach Water method health, healing and meditation arts for the joy and benefit of the people. Water method arts have been practised since ancient times to heal from injury, stress and illness, become incredibly healthy and develop deeper, more subtle aspects of the Mind.

Unlock the Power to Do

The liver gives the power to do. The energies of the Five Elements are associated with each of the primary vital organs. Qigong, a branch of Chinese medicine, cleanses the liver energy.

In the Water Method, the following three foundational practices specifically target the liver to release stagnant and bound energy, and balance and re-vitalise liver qi:

Vitality Follows Where Qi Flows

Qi tells the physical body what to do, not the other way around. Qi (also chi) can transform your body and mind. Qigong, tai chi and bagua target qi to create balance, health, strength and vitality.

Tung Hai Chuan, known as the modern progenitor of bagua, taught each of his disciples differently, depending on their specific talents and needs. This is the basis of the main bagua lines and schools that have followed.

Liu Hung Chieh, my teacher’s teacher, had the honour of attending the original Beijing Bagua School, where he studied with many top bagua masters, including Cheng Yu Long and Ma Gui.

He later married together Yin Fu’s Willow Leaf Palm, Cheng Ting Hua’s Dragon Palm and Ma Gui’s critical qi techniques, giving shape to and powering up the content-rich and multi-layered palms that we train in the Water School today.
