Wondering Into The Miracles

Last night as I did my T’ai Chi Chih practice, I experienced a life review. I brought my thoughts into the now, focused on the soles of my feet and the movement of my body, and before I knew it was transported to an earlier time in my life. I remembered the good times with such love and the not-so-good-times (surprisingly) with great compassion for myself and my experiences. There were things I remembered that made me grateful of angels in my life, as I knew they were the reason everything turned out all right.

I always brought myself back to the present and back to the soles of the feet. I imagine that is what the holiday season is about: remembering, being grateful for the wonder and being grateful that the harder parts are now part of the past.

Moving into the second half of my practice, I wondered about the future. Earlier that day I listened to a podcast about the planetary alignment for 2016 and the potential for changes in the new year. I reminded myself to let go of the concern, to let the Chi guide me. I reminded myself to breathe and flow with the movement. That is what this practice is all about, learning to flow with life, allowing grace to move us easily, which it does if we don’t try to control outcomes. What might appear negative could be the most positive blessing. We just cannot see it until we look back upon it.

There is so much awaiting us in 2016. I believe it is going to be a very blessed year. My plan is to continue my daily practice and allow the flow. My plan is to teach my students to practice more and focus on letting go – so that the Chi can move them to a vibration of so much freedom and ease that they will feel the flow in practice and in life. As in the past 16 years, I am grateful for my TCC practice and looking forward to the wonders of 2016. Namaste.
