My College Students Get Results

“At the beginning of TCC classes, I assumed that I was grounded; I was aware that my feet were touching the ground. However, as my mind wander during one class, I realized what grounding meant, which for me was keeping my mind in reality, as opposed to letting it drift off. At the end of that class, as I was putting my shoes back on, I suddenly felt how tightly I had tied them, and I realized that this was what feeling one’s feet meant. Then, while I was eating lunch the same day, I realized that I had not been grounded at all during a previous class, and that the feeling of almost euphoria after each class was a sign of me not being grounded. While I still felt exhilarated, it was more relaxed than anything else.” – Gila Olson

“The other day I was having trouble concentrating on a reading for class because I was so tired. So I did Pulling In The Energy and was surprised at how well it worked. I was still tired but became mentally alert and able to focus. I was never a big T’ai Chi Chih skeptic, but either did I expect such immediate results from a single move. Very cool.” – Heather Nygaard

“I was practicing T’ai Chi Chih in my room and our oldest cat was sleeping on my bed. About fifteen minutes into it, she woke up, jumped down and started winding herself around my legs and purring. She is normally a rather reserved cat but wouldn’t leave me alone. As you’ve said, animals like the energy.” – Allison Isberg

“Being ungrounded is like viewing the world behind a sheet of glass. You can see everything around you, but you can’t feel anything. When I’m grounded I experience the world around me once more.” – Rachel Duket

“I have been suffering from asthma for over three years. Daily I am completely reliant upon my inhaler, but one morning my trusty inhaler was not by my side. I walked out to my car, but it wasn’t there. I sat in the driver’s seat, considering the five-minute drive to the hospital, when I noticed my Six Healing Sounds worksheet. In a desperate attempt I started doing them and centered on the one directed for the lungs. Within minutes, my wheezing subsided and my breathing became regular. This was the first time in months that I did not use my inhaler first thing in the morning. I soon began to notice that my breathing seemed much better on the mornings following my TCC class. I started working a few of the movements into my nightly routine. I hope that others who participate in this class are able to share similar experiences. I had been quite the skeptic.” – Ginger Weber
