Is there a spiritual element of Tai Chi that MUST be used in order to practice it?

I'm in the process of starting Tai Chi, primarily for purposes of good health and wellbeing. However, I am a Christian and do not wish to compromise my spiritual identity in Christ in order to practice Tai Chi.|||None whatsoever. Tai-Chi is about movement, meditation, and focus. Nothing more.|||Tai Chi and other forms of chi gong are non-denominational. Practicing may very well help you to understand your religion "better" and provide valuable insights in other areas as well. Highly recommended, indeed :)))|||Tai chi was originally practiced by followers of the Taoist faith. While you do not need to be a follower of Taoism to practice Tai chi, you might want to start by exploring the Tao de Ching by Lao Tzu or opt for the Westernized version, "The Tao of Pooh" and it's companion "The Te of Piglet," both of which are authored by Benjamin Hoff.





Tai chi is very powerful and can be a nice, relaxing way to unwind while building up the energy in the body or "chi". It is great for stress management and is used for self-defense by the masters of it.|||God made your body. Tai Chi unifies and revivifies the energies that exist in your God Given body. You are not worshiping other gods when you practice Tai Chi.





You can combine Tai Chi with praising God or praying while you do Tai Chi.





You can envision the energies that are being created when you do Tai Chi and think of them as Love and Light Angelic Energies going out to heal the world.





Tai Chi is great -- I really like it.|||You do not need to be spiritually involved in Taoism or any other kind of spiritual element to practice Tai Chi Chaun. Though, God did create all religions, and there is nothing wrong with believing in multiple religions.
