Susan Matthews combines western training and experience in biokinesiology and biomechanics with Chen style tai chi basic training called chan shi jing or spiral training. She describes the actual physical biomechanical movement of the individual vertebra of the spine, along with the relationship and integration of the spine with all the other joints. Her signature Spiral Anatomy™, has provided a model and a language for understanding this universal mechanical and energetic movement and describes 'universal movement' based on the biomechanics of spirals found in all living, growing things in nature-in the wave-like motion the way fish swim, snakes slither, and birds fly. This information is combined with visualization of movement of internal energy, and mental or spiritual components must be integrated with each other to create effective, relaxed,
whole-body movement. With this framework the fundamental principles of yin-yang including left/right, front/back, up/down, and in/out can be described very specifically both physically and energetically. Power and stamina can be obtained that strengthens bones and joints, rather than produce wear and tear. This technology has the potential to heal the body structure suffering with chronic pain. At an energetic level it can be used to promote spiritual development by understanding how the structure supports letting qi flow through.

Hello Susan,I was one of the fortunate people to have participated in your Spiral Energy class in Mission Viejo, CA. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. I regard this as a turning point in my life. I feel that my eyes have been opened to a new way of living and getting more out of life. Thank you again. Kind Regards, Kathleen Black 11/20/10
