Infirm sisters practice seated T’ai Chi Chih

Top: Light at the Top of the Head: Each Friday afternoon I gather a group of our retired sisters who are living in St. Clare Hall, the infirmary of the Sisters of St. Francis in Oldenburg, Indiana. We do a half-hour of seated TCC. It always stimulates them and no matter what their individual infirmity is, they appreciate doing the movements as best they can. On Mondays, I am able to do T’ai Chi Chih over the closed circuit TV, and many more of the Sisters follow the movements from their rooms.

Bottom: Bird Flaps its Wings: The two sisters on the right were my very first students of TCC…Sister Angela Benedict and Sister Angeline Hageman. They no longer can do the form standing.
