Příležitosti v nepříznivé době
Nepříznivá doba pandemie mi poskytla příležitost pochopit význam slov vědomý a důsledný, a to jak při cvičení, tak během chantingů a setkání na zoomu. To, co si předáváme, lze vyjádřit pomocí slov a emocí, jako je důslednost, trpělivost, uvědomování si, spojení, pozornost, pozorování, nechat to jít a mnoha dalších. Jelikož zbavit se svého ega, hrdosti, […]
To nejlepší v nejhorším
Během prvních měsíců našeho individuálního tréninku jsem cvičila dost vysoké don-you. Tím se mi uvolnila oblast krční páteře a beder. Protože trávím spoustu času prací na počítači, byly tyto části těla ohrožené bolestí. 50 don-you se mi podařilo začlenit do mého každodenního cvičení a to mi vyhovuje. Don-you mě zbavila ztuhlosti svalů, která mě ráno […]
Co mi chanting přináší?
Před zahájením chantingu mě zaplaví pocit klidu a míru. Tento pocit vnitřního pokoje, ale zároveň síly, přetrvává i po jeho skončení. Obvykle chantuji na kolenou. Tato pozice mi pomáhá uvolnit boky a nemám tak žádné bolesti. Když sedím, bolí mě trochanter. Cítím také velké protažení v zádech, břiše a na přední straně stehen. Mám lepší […]
Growing through the pandemic

I’m grateful to the Society
I am 75 years old. I have been doing tai chi for seven years, but a year ago I had to stop attending classes because I am taking care of my husband, with senile dementia. Thanks to the years that I have been doing tai chi, today I can say that I am doing quite […]
Devoting time to improve my health
I had been practicing more or less regularly, but I did it as a kind of homework: I practiced what I had seen at a class, at a workshop or a correction I had received. Lockdown began and with it my fear of getting infected, the uncertainty about the future and sadness about what was […]
The fog has lifted
Before the pandemic I did not practice every day and when I did, it was in most cases for physical reasons. When the confinement began I felt fear, anguish and anxiety, I do not know in what order. I felt as if I had a fist inside that imprisoned the viscera and did not leave […]
All Souls Festival 2019
Master Moy taught us to honor the living and the dead, to promote cultural exchange, and to help others. The All Souls Festivals of 2019 has given the opportunity to express all of these aims. Around the world, participants gathered to engage in something greater than themselves. We chanted, prepared plaques honoring the deceased, folded […]
