Blue Heron Tai Chi, of Longmont, Colorado, and Tai Chi Healthways of San Diego, California, have created a partnership to promote the benefits and provide training for the use of the Tai Chi Ruler. The Tai Chi Ruler is a traditional wooden device, approximately a foot long, invented in China during the reign of the first emperor of the Song Dynasty (960 – 1279) by Taoist Chen Xiyi. Regular practice with the Tai Chi Ruler relieves stress, provides a gentle moving meditation, and promotes health and longevity. Chen Xiyi lived to be 118 years old.
