A Tool For Transitions

T’ai Chi Chih is a unique and priceless tool to have in one’s toolbox for life. I have come to appreciate this more and more over the last nineteen years. Utilizing this tool in times of transition such as birth, death, illness and divorce is particularly useful. TCC seems to help smooth the way through change.

I welcomed both grandchildren into the world while doing Rocking Motion in the waiting area. Somehow after waiting for hours, I instinctively knew when to begin. I am two for two. It’s wonderful to be born into TCC energy.

A student recently told me how helpful her practice was during the illness of her mother and while grieving her loss. Another was called to her father’s bedside in the middle of the night. A text at first light expressed gratitude for the powerful experience of doing TCC there. Justin often spoke of those who credited TCC with a hasty release from the hospital. We all have examples.

Under normal life circumstances our daily TCC practice adds something special to our day and benefits us in countless ways. When one does not know what to do, leaning on our TCC practice becomes a life raft.

I count on my practice like a dear friend to help me quiet inside, calm down, listen for answers or surrender to not knowing. TCC tells me it is okay, and it is okay not to know. Next time you just don’t know what to do, start Rocking. The Chi will take it from there.
