Still Talking About Last Summer’s Conference

Now that my life has taken on the normal routines I’m accustomed to, I have a little time to write and say how much I enjoyed the Conference and Seijaku.

We were excited about having everyone come to Minnesota. After many months of planning and anxious moments (and progress) the Conference took shape and Inver Hills became the T’ai Chi Chih capitol of the world for a few days! Having Justin and Steve both here to share this time with us was really special to me.

Thanks to everyone who came to the Conference. It was great to meet people I’d heard about through other teachers or read something about in The Vital Force. I’m feeling like a member of the TCC Family now.

I encourage all teachers to attend the Conferences if they possibly can–especially those who have never been to one. This was my first time and a very worthwhile experience.

The Seijaku course was certainly an awakening for me. I thought that T’ai Chi Chih–as I knew it–was the ‘Supreme Ultimate,’ but with Seijaku it is even more than that! I hope the teachers who feel they are ready for it, will take upcoming courses. It has added a lot to my personal practice as well as my teaching capacity.

I’m already looking forward to next year’s Conference! You’ll see me there!

It was a wonderful Conference and I am so grateful that I was able to attend. Thanks to everyone for making it possible. So much warmth and love and sharing. I feel blessed. I sure hope I can see everyone again next year!

“Seijaku” is aptly named “stillness in the midst of activity.” Since I have been back from the course in Minnesota, I have practiced daily. I am amazed at the calmness and centeredness it has brought to my daily life! I have simultaneously begun teaching a new year at my Junior High School (learning handicapped students), looking for a home to purchase, made arrangements for my next TCC teaching session (P.R., room rental, etc.), and continued with my usual responsibilities. All this with ease and energy and a love and peace I don’t think I have ever experienced before.

The energy seems to flow within me, continually. In fact, my constant companion has named me “Barbara Burning Hands.” But more amazingly, the energy around me seems to be synchronized with my inner flow.

Thank you,
