A New Home; A New Life

Growing up as an abused child in an alcoholic home, I had “disassociated” my mind from my body. The first gift of T’ai Chi Chih was getting me back in touch with my body as a step toward wholeness. The second gift was experiencing total love and support from Steve and from those at his 1995 San Jose meditation retreat. And now, I’ve been so blessed by the San Diego conference!

Although I have Master’s degrees in counseling and psychology, I’d become a “pack rat” and my home environment was a mess. Not feeling I deserved a nice home and figuring a messy one would keep others away, I lived a double life.

Now I’ve initiated the process of buying a new mobile home for my three cats and myself. It will be an open place to match my new openness! I decided to do this the day after I returned from San Diego and know T’ai Chi Chih and the ambiance at the conference helped heal me!

I also want to commend the San Diego group for their example to us all of love in action. It was inspiring to see the high regard they have for each other and their selflessness. Thanks for the reminder of what it’s all about — “joy thru motion” with open heart and open mind!
