Chronic pain relieved/reduced by playing Tai Chi

Posted by Bo H.

I started to learn Tai Chi about 2 years ago. Before that I had a very bad TMJ which hurted the half of my body very frequently due to the nerve and muscle inflammation. After 1 year of practicing Tai Chi, this syndrome almost disappeared. I feel this is because that Tai Chi helps me to open the meridian in my body (or to say smoothening it). But I wonder how to connect the Chinese Meridian to the nerve system in human body.
