Intention Happens
By: Parker Reynolds
Strongsville, Ohio
I have held an intention of teaching T’ai Chi Chih to youth since 2016, ever since seeing Linda Jones’ video of Sister Christa and April Leffler teaching youngsters at Drexel Neumann Academy. And it came to fruition last night.
As I began watching the video of the children’s transformation, as they began their TCC practice, an intense feeling rose from the tan t’ien and came out in sobs of joy. At that moment it was revealed that this was what I need to do. And now, after sharing the intention with everyone I speak to about TCC, it has begun: the leaders of a local church youth group asked me lead a class of intermediate students and high schoolers. The kids were enthusiastic and absorbed TCC like sponges. We will see where the Chi leads from here. So grateful and excited.
