Accreditation Transformation

My transformation happened when I did what Daniel wrote on the wall the first day. He never read the words to us; he just put them up there. Two days later I read the whole thing and I took it to heart. I felt the energy move through a joint in my body and I recognized it as fear being released by the flow of the Chi. I realized at that moment that I no longer had to be afraid of my own power. And I learned that week, from an observant teacher, to fully ground in that power.

I “just noticed” how nervous I was about the presentation, to the point of being frozen from writing an outline and choosing movements to demonstrate. I knew it would come from my heart and still I was fearful. Of what? A habit energy. Years of making formal presentations didn’t matter; the few failures had stuck in me and this was my most important audience ever. We love TCC, what it means to us and what we wish to share, so it will ripple out. I knew the presentation would be what it needed to be. I had to be there. I have to share the TCC practice. There is no other choice. My first teacher, Marie, told me we follow the Chi. Haha, and with joy I now follow the Chi.

I knew I had to teach. Still, I did not have confidence that I would make it through another intense week like the October intensive. I was afraid it would be too physical, mental and emotional. The fourth day (after my presentation was done), I awoke feeling the cosmic rhythm. What was this luxurious way to lie in bed for a few moments, not craving coffee, feeling alive, powerful, not overly energized, only loving that I am life and watching how calmly I am getting ready for a 7am practice? Daniel’s writing on the wall made it so simple when I just did it.

My teachers, so fully living teh, prepared me well, even when I did not see it. Marie helped me learn and refine, refine, refine, and she told me about the accreditation process a long time ago. Parker’s class was a wonderful place to practice, and he set me up with a class upon returning so there was no choice. Roseanne taught me to make it fit my size. They all encouraged me; they knew I had no choice. My candidate-mates all supported one another. Auditing teachers came to ensure we got it. I feel so much love and gratitude for this community and for my teacher trainer, and I can barely wait to see the ripples we new teachers create.
