Toward Growth

Nothing is, except – the NOW. To be present to the moment is really living qualitively, and T’ai Chi Chih is my force in striving toward this value. The more I practice, the more I am finding it possible. My past experiences are – me. The future enfolds itself more quietly for my spontaneous, intense personality can bring disharmony. I am becoming more in tune with Reality. My God is. I am.

To concentrate on the energy generated between the palms of my hands as they face each other, is powerful. The hands pass continually by the t’an tien, and all is magnified, breathing the energy through my chakras, radiating througout my body – and beyond. This does not distract from my feet, which connects all with the Earth. Somehow energy is unified in the t’an tien where it resides, and flows out. Quite awesome.

Today is Earth Day, and doing T’ai Chi Chih in the open is oneness with the All, who is all. Today is also my seventh anniversary in being a part of the T’ai Chi Chih family, for in 1988 Justin certified me. It was a blessed day, and with my dear group, Steve, and the teachers present, we gratefully joyed together.

I was able to bring T’ai Chi Chih to our Residential Wholistic Growth Resources Program, where a number of our participants have been certified over the years. From W.G.R. we have not only teachers in over nine states, but also in Guam, Canada and Ireland…and our family grows.

Thank you dear Justin, for your wisdom in stimulating us by your insightful creativity. You continue to share your depths through your books, lectures, articles and tapes, and now, in that special print. It is meaninful, so lovely, and I bless you.

Congratulations to The Vital Force staff; they bring us information and encouragement, and the publication, where Justin, Steve and the “family” share, is excellent… I look forward to centering with you all in T’ai Chi Chih (and Seijaku) in Denver, CO in August.

May the God of all Goodness bring us safely together in the peace of open hospitality.
