Just arrived in Tai Chi land, looking forward to learning something new every day, so that I can tell myself that I am studying these wonderful ancient practices.

We get this question quite often: “Umm... so I finished the 7-Day Challenge… what should I do next?” We created this guide to make it easier for you to navigate what we offer inside this community and choose what feels right for you. - First, there is no strict order. These are options, not levels you must “unlock.” Follow your interest and your intuition. The most important thing is that your practice feels sustainable, enjoyable, and aligned with where you are right now. Move at your own pace. Make it your own. - The recorded live sessions are always a great supplement. Even better—join live when you can. Being able to ask questions to Sonny in real time and receive direct guidance is one of the biggest perks of being part of this community. It brings the practice to life in a different way. - The 7-Day Challenge isn’t just a starting point for new members. It’s also a powerful place to revisit. Each time you return, you’ll likely notice something deeper—better alignment, clearer understanding, more subtle awareness. Foundations are meant to be rebuilt again and again. - These practices are not a straight line. They’re more like a circle that continues to deepen over time. You can always return, revisit, and rediscover—and you will keep learning something new. That’s the beauty of this path. It’s an ongoing journey you can cultivate for a lifetime. Above all, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to post them in our Q&A tab or simply send a direct message to the support team, @Jayda Jeon or @Joshua Harris We’re always happy to help you navigate so your practice can be rooted strongly on this journey.

This CHALLENGE has PROVEN something……that in order to make your BODY RELAX, you have to WORK FOR IT! And by PRACTICING QIGONG AND TAI CHI CONSISITENTLY ON A DAILY BASIS FOR 10- 20 MINUTES HELP GAIN PROFICIENCY AND MAINTAIN DESIRED RESULTS! All of the participants have reported being RELAXED, CALMED, GROUNDED, FOCUSED AND ENERGIZED WHICH GAVE THEM AN OVER-ALL FEELING OF VITALITY. WHY IS THIS SO? WHY DO WE FEEL GREAT WHEN WE RELAX? WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE OUR BODY TO REFECT THIS? Let us set aside Qigong and Tai Chi for awhile and dig deeper into the.. THE SCIENCE OF RELAXATION. After relaxation, the body shifts from a “ FIGHT TO FLIGHT” state to the PARASYMPATHETIC “ REST AND DIGEST” mode. KEY PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES include: 1. HEART AND CIRCULATION- blood pressure and heart rate drop as the cardiovascular system slows down, reducing the risks of heart disease. BLOOD flow increases to major MUSCLES AND ORGANS. 2. MUSCULAR SYSTEM: muscles become LOOSE AND LESS TENSE RELIEVING PAIN AND ACHES. 3. HORMONAL SHIFT: the body REDUCES PRODUCTION OF STRESS HORMONES LIKE CORTISOL AND ADRENALINE, INSTEAD RELEASES NEUROTRANSMITTERS LIKE SEROTONIN AND DOPAMINE THAT IMPROVE MOOD. 4. CELLULAR RESTORATION: during DEEP REST, the body redirects ENERGY toward CELL REPAIRS AND TELOMARES (PROTECTIVE CAP OF DNA) maybe protected from damage, SLOWING CELLULAR AGING. 5.COGNITIVE AND MENTAL STATE: BRAIN ACTIVITY shifts often resulting in INCREASED FOCUS, CLEARER THINKING AND BETTER MEMORY FUNCTION. 6. ENERGY AND IMMUNITY: ENERGY LEVEL IMPROVES AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM BECOMES MORE EFFECTIVE AT FIGHTING OFF ILLNESS.
