Canada post-Seijaku feedback
Monique: I appreciated the chance to reconnect with teachers from accreditation. Having moved to a province and community where I’m on my own, the chance to practice in a group again was welcome. I will take back the lessons from the Seijaku training and work/play with it. I especially like the massages and tonings and will be sure to share them with my students.
Leslie: Sunday a.m. and I feel really, really good. In yesterday’s practice before supper I felt really out of it. The instruction was excellent. Saturday night session was a little long, but I realized it was worthwhile.
Rhonda: Thank you for a great weekend. I discussed how resistance plays into every aspect of my life, but once the awareness is made, I can progress and improve in my TCC and Seijaku practices and life. It was great to feel the heightened level of chi. To be able to continue to soften more is a wonderful feeling.
Yvette: I was pleased to finally have the opportunity to experience Seijaku training, especially here in Canada. It was good to reconnect with TCC teachers from outside Canada. Many thanks, Margo, for working the magic to make this happen this spring.
Lois: Thank you for the experience of this weekend. I discovered resistances that I didn’t realize I had or how strong some were already instilled. The letting go was fantastic. We were all able to laugh together and enjoy the moment and almost think as a whole. I am leaving this weekend with a new way of dealing with my life and its lessons.
Chery Ann: It was wonderful to audit with another instructor—new perspectives, great learnings. I’m re-energized and motivated to integrate Seijaku into my everyday practice. It was great to reconnect with our TCC group. Thanks, Margo, for organizing this.
Byron: Thank you, Pam. You are a very gifted instructor. You put people at ease with a love that is so immense. The metaphor of resistance and softness in life and Seijaku was very enlightening. The feeling of resistance allowed the feeling of softness to intensify and become more manifested within me. The softness has become so absolutely soft. As Ed shared at accreditation, the chi will take you to places that you never thought of. This has certainly been the case this weekend. What a ride! My practice has and will become more intense with more practice. As in life, growth is more important than perfection.
Cathy: Some patterns of thinking are becoming clearer; I was able to work through my dilemma quite easily with Pam’s help. I have been more able to see my resistances—a very interesting way to discover them. The group has been great; we’ve grown quite a bit closer. I like the brainstorming as it gives me new ideas and enthusiasm to get more classes going. The main thing has been the concentration required to be able to get all the parts doing what they are supposed to do, allowing a sharp focus.
Louise: I have discovered another aspect to my lifelong practice of TCC through Seijaku, which I can see will be a lifelong practice in itself. This came for me, as always, at the right time, opening up possibilities for pushing through resistance in myself into softness. I can see many parallels for my life and work. I am grateful to be able to take Seijaku so close to my own home.
