Some qi gong masters heal sick people by channeling chi into them. Tens of millions of Chinese do tai chi every morning on sidewalks and in parks, while waiting for buses. I don't know about miraculous cures from this practice, but I think it is great for overall health. It's an excellent relaxation technique and a way to harmonize the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. It develops concentration, better balance and coordination.
Clinical studies show that it can reduce the risk of falls in the elderly.
And if you buy into the Chinese philosophy that illness results from blocked energy flow, then tai chi would be a way to improve the functioning of every system of the body.
