T'ai Chi Chih

1983 Article on Justin Stone, T’ai Chi Chih Originator & Teacher

by

By DAVID CUSHING FUESS

Hidden away in a small house in Carmel is a rather remarkable man named Justin Stone. He has developed a form of moving meditation which he calls T’ai Chi Chih (TCC) as opposed to the better known form T’ai Chi Ch’uan which Justin has practiced since 1958. TCC is easy to learn because It consists of 20 simple movements instead of the more lengthy 108 more difficult movements of T’ai Chi Ch’uan. TCC has powerful effects on the human body both physical and spiritual. Since he first originated TCC in 1974 Justin has trained over 200 teachers, myself included, who have in turn taught thousands of others. TCC has spread to Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Chile and Switzerland. [Click here to read more of the larger pdf version of this 1983 Article on Justin Stone, T’ai Chi Chih Originator & Teacher.]

The Six Healing Sounds

by

True Taoists often spent time in the forests or on mountaintops in deep and solitary meditation. Living this natural life in the wilderness, these wise men were, of course, exposed to hardships and disease. According to legend, they evolved a method of repeating sounds, synchronized with a motion resembling the Six Healing Sounds movement of T’ai Chi Chih to ward off illness or cure any indisposition. Each sound referred to a particular inner organ and the idea was to concentrate on the appropriate organ while making each movement and slowly uttering the correct sound in a long drawn-out whisper. These six sounds with the organs they serve are:

  1. HO (ho) Heart
  2. HU (who) Spleen
  3. SZU (tsue) Liver
  4. HSU (shuh) Lungs
  5. HSI (she) 3 Heaters: below the navel, in the abdomen, between the eyes)
  6. CHUI (chwee) Kidneys

The idea is to balance the organs. In order to do this the entire six healing sounds movement must be completed in its entirety. Simply uttering an individual sound with its corresponding motion will create an imbalance.
