Consider Post-Conference Seijaku

I was accredited as a Seijaku teacher in 2004 and taught it the following Spring to eager students well-seasoned in T’ai Chi Chih practice. One student said it offered the missing piece she had long been in search of. Since her experience had obviously taken her deeper than my own had, I kept going back for more Seijaku. After the 2010 Nebraska conference I stayed on (again) to audit the Seijaku teacher accreditation. It was another stepping stone on my journey towards a slowly deepening experience of “Oh, that’s what Seijaku is all about.” I was eager for Seijaku to percolate into a richer, more mature, more grounded practice.

Somehow, when I’m not even looking, Seijaku seems to be happening – when I give up trying so hard or trying at all. Meanwhile, I now incorporate some Seijaku into every TCC practice, and some days I do a lot and it feels great. The more I move through and befriend the resistance in my Seijaku practice, the more easily I move through and befriend the resistance in other areas of my life. It’s freeing and energizing.
