Advanced T’ai Chi Chih! SEIJAKU

Justin shared some important news at the August teacher conference: he has been working on an Advanced T’ai Chi Chih, and he taught a few of the preliminaries to the Advanced T’ai Chi Chih to those who attended the Vallombrosa conference.

“For many years, when asked about an advanced form of T’ai Chi Chih, I always replied that there was none,” opened Justin. “But recently I have developed some techniques that tremendously step up the flow of the Chi.” Justin calls the advanced form “Seijaku,” (familiar to teachers as the Japanese term meaning Serenity in the Midst of Activity), and likens its effects in T’ai Chi Chih practice to the difference in energy between a 60-watt light bulb and a 500-watt bulb. Seijaku is a significant development in TCC and almost everyone who experienced the sampling which Justin taught at the conference will attest to the dramatic increase in the flow of the Chi that can be experienced through just the simple preliminaries.

Justin plans to teach the Advanced T’ai Chi Chih at a 3-day Seijaku course in the late November at Vallombrosa, open to 25 to 30 of those who were present at the teacher conference in August. After the training, those teachers will be accredited to teach Advanced TCC. Both former and new TCC students will predictably be interested in learning the powerful Seijaku.

Other active T’ai Chi Chih instructors (those who both teach and maintain their own practice regularly) will have the opportunity to become accredited to teach Advanced T’ai Chi Chih sometime during 1987, at a similar 3-day Seijaku course.
