Tai Yi is translated to mean supreme movement. The name Tai Yi, in and of itself, does not describe the full purpose being used here. The name Life Energy Flow is a description of Tai Yi, meaning allowing life energy flow to be the supreme movement in life, to live in full abundance of health, joy, peace and wisdom.
The founding principles which make Tai Yi unique are built upon the teachings of 12 bodies, with each body having its own set of meridians. This is an ancient teaching forgotten by most, many thousands of years ago. As the human body became denser vibrationally/energetically the other 5 bodies became as nonexistent. Most if not all current eastern spiritual teachings state there are 7 bodies. As stated, it is also unique to the teachings of Tai Yi that each body, including the physical, has a meridian system.
Currently many understand the physical body has meridians, as it is made popular in acupuncture. Meanwhile, there are no healing modalities (except Tai Yi) that teach the meridian system of all 12 bodies. As Tai Yi becomes more known others will begin to understand the existence not only of the 12 bodies, but that each body besides the physical has its own unique meridian system. Tai Yi incorporates within its grids all or part of the 12 bodies per exercise; this makes all 4,446 Tai Yi exercises an exceptionally powerful hands on healing modality when each grid is precise and Universal Energy is being sent.
This is why it is imperative that the grid system is 100% accurate for each Tai Yi exercise performed. The grid will direct the energy into whatever body or bodies are in need of alignment, and what meridians are in need of healing. Grid points and gates exist on, in, and outside of the human body. If the grid system is not 100% accurate, the exercise will not work or there may be physical, mental, or emotional difficulty, even if Universal Energy is used.
All the 12 bodies have 12 major meridians (144). Each major meridian has 12 sub meridians (1,728), and each sub meridian has 12 each (20,736). As you can see Tai Yi offers an exercise for virtually every ailment that exists, including past/future life healing.
