Carmen Brocklehurst Comes to the South Plains

On September 23 and 24, 2006, members of the Fourth Annual T’ai Chi Chih Workshop sponsored by the SAS Wellness Center opened their hearts and minds to Carmen Brocklehurst’ wonderful teaching.

On Saturday, Carmen’s Return to Basics brought new information to those who were completely new to TCC and to those who had been taking classes in the Wellness Center for as long as 5 years. As a teacher I want to say that her ability to teach to each individual in the class is phenomenal as was noted by many in the statements at the end of the class.

On Sunday afternoon, we went deeper into TCC as Carmen discussed the massages and sounds of Seijaku and brought TCC practice to a new level. On both days she brought meditation to those experienced in meditation and those new to the practice.

Debbie summed up the feelings of many when she said, “I’m very grateful for the opportunity to meet with Carmen and she makes me feel very special to her though she has never met me.”

“A Blessing,” was Michael’s to the point comment.

Bill, “felt a sense of completeness and wholeness at the conclusion.”

Sophia, who found she really needed a copy of Meditation for Healing, made a special trip back to get the book and said about Carmen, “was very knowledgeable and was a wonderful teacher.

“Her teachings and insights into TCC and Meditation have been life-changing,” were Cindy’s comments.

“Finding new life and discovering yourself,” are Margaret’s feelings.

For Darla the workshop was, “A Wow! What a spiritual journey to self discovery with a guide who exudes unconditional love.”

Poppy not only thought she was an excellent teacher but that she is, “charming, entertaining and seemed to explain the benefits of the movements.”

Important to Charlotte was the fact that the workshop, “improved my breathing and introduced new ideas and thoughts that will improve my well-being and thinking processes.”

Out TCC veteran, Bobbie, said, “Her gentleness and explanations were super. Analogies and stories were exceptional. Slowness and reasons for making moves gentle were unusual and lasting.”

Our Wellness Director, Larry Sava, added, “Our Members were very ecstatic with Carmen. She was able to bring our members to a new level of TCC. However, more importantly she was able to help us reach a higher level of consciousness.

Carmen is closing an era for us. Her Workshop was the last weekend at HealthPoint. However, since her workshop opened us up to reaching deeper into TCC, we feel that our new location and the backing of University Medical Center is opening our program up to new horizons to spread our program of Wellness, mind and body and that TCC will touch the South Plains as it never has.

Thank you Carmen, for being with us.
