Joy (February 2015)

“At the center of our being is joy; all we have to do is allow it to shine through,” writes Justin Stone in Meditation for Healing.

I find myself with a wide smile and joyful heart, especially while doing Light at the Top of the Head/Light at the Temple. When the wrists let the hands open above the head and at the temple, I feel that I am letting the joy out. When the arms open into the great circles at the close of each part of the movement, I feel the joy filling me.

Then comes Joyous Breath. Breathing in deeply, the Chi and joy rise. Exhaling, they permeate the whole being.

Joy sits in us, sometimes unknown. Gratitude to T’ai Chi Chih for allowing it to shine through.
