Mara Held '18 Movements,' 2020 egg tempera on linen over panel 40 x 30 inches Taiji Qigong Shibashi "Shibashi means 18 forms/movements. Created in 1979 by Professor Lin Housheng, former director of the Shanghai Qigong Research Institute, Taiji Qigong Shibashi combines the beauty of Taiji (Tai Chi) movements with the healing effect of Qigong and Meditation. The fluid movements follow your breathing, creating a soothing sensation flowing through your body. The mind is relaxed and observes the movements or creates an image inspired by the name of each movement: “Expanding the chest”, “Rowing in the middle of the lac”, “Fisherman casting his net”.
