Harmony and Self-repair

Harmony and Self-repair

Participants took the opportunity to work together harmoniously and deepen their understanding of the teachings of Master Moy, making new habits to help them improve their health, mental and physical. Emphasis throughout the five days was on underlying principles and foundations of Taoist Tai ChiTM Arts.  Time was taken each day to work on the […]
Me siento más conectada

Me siento más conectada

Llegó el confinamiento, así que no había clases, toda la rutina habitual se había ido. Me sentí totalmente perdida y confusa. Practicaba tablas todos los días como de costumbre, pero descubrí que al final de la tabla tenía lágrimas corriendo por mi rostro, a pesar de que me sentía tranquila. Fue inquietante. ¿Qué hacer? Decidí […]
From grief to joy in a moment

From grief to joy in a moment

I have found this 3rd lockdown in England very difficult and felt bowed down with grief for our son who died 18 months ago. It’s been a struggle to do my daily practice. However,  I have forced myself to join the chanting on Saturdays and Mondays to bring some structure into my life. During the last […]
Changing habits

Changing habits

56 years ago my mother passed away. I was 10. Since then I have lived a pretty wreckless life. Smoking has been one of my coping mechanisms for the last 40 years until 6 years ago, when Taoist Tai Chi gave me the strength to stop. I ordered a plaque for my mother, for All […]
Gestionar estrés y ansiedad con práctica diaria

Gestionar estrés y ansiedad con práctica diaria

Antes de la pandemia, las artes del Taoist Tai Chi® era algo que solo practicaba cuando asistía a una clase semanal los viernes por la noche. Entre clases, rara vez pensaba en practicar.   Habiendo sufrido de ansiedad y estrés, asistí a un curso de Terapia Cognitiva Conductual en febrero que me brindó algunas […]
Feeling the energy and the togetherness

Feeling the energy and the togetherness

On Saturday I logged on to ‘Chanting for the world’ for the first time. I didn’t chant but just soaked up the feeling and followed one of the chants that I had printed out.   I found it very relaxing and enjoyed listening to the speakers. When the chanting was finished I realised that I […]
THE POWER OF TAOIST TAI CHI

THE POWER OF TAOIST TAI CHI

    Life at the moment is full of emotion and grief and Taoist Tai ChiTM arts have been an absolute saviour. My first “light bulb” moment happened when I was doing A Danyu challenge.  I did forty danyus and then the next ten slowly, really concentrating in pushing with the feet and allowing the […]
Seguir adelante a pesar de…

Seguir adelante a pesar de…

Llevo varios años practicando las artes del Taoist Tai Chi®. Un amigo me animó a intentarlo, y todavía lo estoy intentando. Una de las características maravillosas del Tai Chi taoísta es que siempre estás «probándolo», ¡nunca puedes decir que ya está! Fue una curva de aprendizaje bastante empinada para mí como principiante, tengo una pérdida […]
Sentirme más como yo solía ser

Sentirme más como yo solía ser

Noto que, los días en que he hecho los fundamentos, me siento impulsada a levantarme y hacer más al día siguiente. Cuando me pierdo días, tengo menos energía para volver a hacerlo. También he intentado esta semana limitarme a detener cada movimiento antes de cansarme, en lugar de seguir adelante. En cuanto a las tablas, […]
A journey starts with a single step…TRUST!

A journey starts with a single step…TRUST!

I’ve been doing Taoist Tai Chi for nearly 3 years and it’s the only thing I’ve found that really helps with my fibromyalgia symptoms, so during the pandemic it’s been important to keep up regular practice on my own. The weekly Zoom calls with my class have been very helpful with motivation to keep practising, […]
Reflections on practising alone together

Reflections on practising alone together

Going out to a Tai Chi class had been a staple of my weekly routine for so many years, I couldn’t imagine how it would feel without that physical link to the Society, the meeting with other members, and the practising together. I’ve always practised regularly at home, but I’ve now realised I’d been doing […]
More lockdown discoveries…

More lockdown discoveries…

I took part in the danyu challenge and did over 2,500. I really enjoyed doing it and all my aches and pains vanished. One night just after I had completed the challenge I tripped over my big labrador dog and fell flat on my face. I am 65. I lay a minute waiting to see […]
Chanting messages

Chanting messages

I would like to say a big «thank you» for the Chanting sessions on Zoom.  My Tai Chi journey started in October 2018 when I went along to my first beginners class. I found it challenging to maintain my practice since the classes were paused.  I have had the time to be able to reflect […]
Finding direction in different ways

Finding direction in different ways

When you practice by yourself, there’s no-one else to rely on – you have to be your own instructor! My lovely instructors both said ‘Find a move or something to improve, and make it your Tai Chi Lockdown Challenge’! I decided that mine would be to learn the entire set!  Although I have been practicing for […]
