Power That Must Be Shared

By: Diana Daffner

I came to TCC with 20 years experience as a teacher of centering, energy awareness, and meditation. I have studied ki (chi) in my practice and teaching of aikido, massage, and energy healing. TCC excites me because it so quickly facilitates the joyous state of mind — or, no mind. When I first began practicing TCC, I experienced bliss. I might have kept it to myself, but when I read that others, too, had this joyous experience with T’ai Chi Chih, when I read their poetry and the metaphors that describe their practice, I knew for sure that there was power in the movements, and that they must be shared. Thank you, Justin!

Teaching TCC has been a joyous experience. We often practice on the beach; we’ve been photographed for a local newspaper, as well as for National Geographic Magazine! For our 6th wedding anniversary, Richard and I led about 40 friends and students through the movements on the beach at sunset. It felt like an ancient ritual, giving love and longevity to our relationship.

I also teach the movements at an addiction rehabilitation center. The clients appreciate the “natural high”……A quote from an article of mine, “A Moving Meditation”, published in New Awareness Magazine: “Performed daily, a movement such as Rocking Motion provides us with a habit-forming pause which will soften our lives and lift our spirits. A habit which can become second nature. A pause that can truly nourish our soul and remind us of our divine connection.”….. Thanks for The Vital Force. It is so helpful to link us all together.
