TCC teacher begins collecting healing stories for outreach

Somewhere in my thirties I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia. Although not major, it was bothersome. Mealtimes were a source of amusement for my teenage daughters as their mom would often let out an uncontrollable belch especially towards the end of a meal. After one unforgettably loud belch my youngest daughter asked “Would you teach my friends how to do that?” These unforeseen belches were a constant horror, especially when eating out with friends or on business. I would be very tense while eating—producing the worst condition for the hernia. So I ate small amounts and talked very little trying to avoid “that sound.” While attending my own instructors accreditation course I had the sensation of warmth which would slowly glide down my chest to my stomach after doing the T’ai Chi Chih routine. This continued for three days. Then it stopped. That week I stopped belching at meals.

Have you or someone you know received a health benefit, from regular T’ai Chi Chih practice? If so we would like to learn of your or their first-hand experience and share it with VFJ readers, instructors, their students and people T’ai Chi Chih could help. We hope to receive diverse stories which will spark a desire by others to try T’ai Chi Chih and discover what balancing their chi will do for them. These true life accounts will be used as resources for our instructors and as articles of encouragement to special interest groups to try T’ai Chi Chih and reap benefits from this practice. A long range goal is to be able to reach browsers on the web through specific health topics (high blood pressure, MS, fibromyolgia, lower back pain, depression, etc.). T’ai Chi Chih will be one of the resources they will find.

Let us hear what T’ai Chi Chih has done for you. Let’s show the world how Tai Chi Chih is working in our lives!
