Tai Chi and Chi Gong are perceived as gentle spiritual movements, and weight-loss programs appear to involve rigorous training, the answer is yes.
Personally, as someone who loves to eat, and usually large portions, I can testify that without my Tai Chi Gong Training, I would have had to carry extra weight that would have burdened me physically and mentally.
Just like in any other area of our life, losing weight with Tai Chi demands employing our Inner Winner. (As described it in length in my new book, THE KEY TO QI).
Our Inner Winner is the resource you have in yourself that allows you to express Determination, Stamina, Commitment and Courage in your Tai Chi Gong training.
Determination: Winning the mental battle against your Inner Censor, is the first step. (If your conquer yourself you can conquer anything" Ramel Rones, Tai Chi Master, and Scientific consultant to Harvard Medical School. So win the mental battle and decide that you can do it, is the first step on the way to winning the physical battle and losing weight.
Stamina: The key to winning the battle against extra body weight, is being able to workout continuously for 60-90 minutes.
Commitment: Setting time to workout with a partner, by yourself or with the guide of a Training DVD, is an essential commitment. It is the key to proving yourself that you are willing to go for it, and win the battle.
Courage: The most important internal power to draw from your Inner Winner resources, is the courage to push away the fear of failure. You can do it, if you will. Courage is needed everyday against those inner forces that persuade you not to practice. Excuses and reason why not to do. If you have the courage to go for the Tai Chi Gong session without fear, every time, you will make it.
