In recent decades, the general populace of the United States has been facing a radical reexamination of the state of our healthcare system. Not only has this investigation included wide-ranging debates on how healthcare is delivered and who pays the bills, but it has also brought us to a different vantage point for examining our philosophical approach to health and well-being. We have been forced to reexamine our involvement in our own health care by the realizations that many new diseases and dysfunctions are rising up to challenge us and that the world has become so closely connected that what affects people on one continent will soon be active throughout the global village. Many people have been fortunate to discover the traditional Oriental exercise and practices that emphasize the development of these connections: the practices of qigong and taijiquan.
