Nineteen Movements & One Pose

By: Nancy Rolph-Johnson

Long Beach, California

T’ai Chi Chih is good for you for harmony and balance.

Stimulate and circulate your Chi and hidden talents.

Rocking Motion starts us off along the way to healing.

Benefits will come along and foster calmer feelings.

The Daughters and the Taffies we’ll meet along the way.

Softly move the ball along when you come here to play.

Around the Platter, 1 and 2, trace circles in the air.

Push Pull while shifting weight, we move with lots of care.

Pulling in the Energy from the farthest star.

Our fingers get all tingly; the Chi flows from afar.

The pulley glides us back and forth; the drummer passes by.

You’ll feel release of tension – all you have to do is try.

The lights appear around your head to set your mind at ease.

Soon you will be so relaxed your life will be a breeze.

With a sigh our Joyous Breath will heal our inner flow.

Sounds of healing welcome us; the cosmos shines and glows.

We’re grateful for this practice, watching passing clouds go by.

Each day we’re getting lighter, like birds flapping in the sky.

So gather round for T’ai Chi Chih – I hope you will participate.

We’ll meet again next Tuesday – and start at 10:00,

Now don’t be late.
