The River’s Choice

I followed the hiking trail along the ridge until it descended to where a river split around a wooded island. The water moved with spring energy, swollen from snowmelt, its surface catching the afternoon light in shifting patterns. At the split, I stopped to watch how the current divided – some water peeling left, some right, both flows wrapping around the island before rejoining downstream. There was no hesitation in the division, no ...

Lee from Colorado2d ago

running a Tai Chi school means we get some interesting emails.

Today's is from the "Military Auxiliary Programs Coordinator with the Colorado Department of Military and Veterans Affairs" asking us to partner with them since military service and martial arts share the exact same values.

Hmm ... staring in gazan, venezuelan, cuban ...

I've been doing in-person Tai Chi for maybe 15 years and you are right, it covers all the mind-body bases.
My new teacher (for the last 3 years or so) also does a short Quigung session as part of the class which is hugely beneficial (it is supposed to link into traditional Chinese medicine).

I was originally advised to try it as part of my recovery from severe depression.

I've been through several teachers and they are definitely not equal.
There also a variety of styles & approaches to TaiChi, all rather different - this can confuse the unwary!

The form we've just started learning (or trying to learn) is seen at https://youtu.be/v6XjHE7yDlU?si=vHnz3XPX51UPyCPk

I'd definitely try to get to an in-person class if you can.

Wild Greens

The woman at the farmer’s market had a small table covered with bunches of leaves and plants I didn’t recognize. While other vendors sold early greenhouse produce – lettuce and herbs in neat bundles – her offerings looked wild and slightly chaotic. Dark serrated leaves, fuzzy stalks, delicate shoots with unfamiliar shapes. A handwritten sign read “Foraged Greens – Ask Me Anything.” She stood behind the table in worn overalls, hair in grey braids, boots caked with mud, looking more like she’d just walked out of the forest than set up at a market. ...

Fun to be part of a #taichi flash mob at the #Yellowknife Snow Castle yesterday.

I can no longer postpone it. I’ve run out of excuses. And, quite frankly, time is running out. I Must Return to #TaiChi Practice and the study of #MartialArts.

Don’t ask what those excuses were, they were covers for basic laziness basking in the good #health that Martial arts have given me so far. I feel ashamed.
