Readers Respond (June 1994)

In the last VFJ mailing, we included a postpaid postcard to subscribers who were not teachers asking them who introduced them to TCC and what has TCC involvement meant to them. We received twelve responses which we would like to share with you.

Alyse Meyer, Arcata, CA: My mother, Linda Meyer is a teacher; involvement means a new look at life and I’m healthier.

Florence Okie, White Bear Lake, MN: Saw an advertisement for TCC classes in a chiropractor’s office; teacher was Sister Germain. TCC means peacefulness, centering, starting a day with a clear mind and energy.

SusanMarie Swartzel, Portland OR: Elizabeth Tyler was my teacher; TCC means inner peace, more focus and energy; lots of things are just passing clouds instead of upsetting me.

Mary Ann Wamhoff, Clayton, MO: Found Teacher Sr. Alice Holden through a St. Louis, MO church bulletin. It has meant balancing through major life transitions and for my work as a massage therapist. (Need teacher training course in St. Louis, soon! Please!)

Dorothy Emery D.C, Leavenworth, KS: Heard about it at a conference in Dallas. I need a teacher. I feel this path is right–just a beginning.

Sue Parks, Woodinville, WA: Heard about TCC through Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland. Jeanne Beatty-Jacobs is my current teacher. I have a chronic balance disorder but taking TCC has given me a second chance. If I continue to improve I’d like to become a teacher, focusing on health and life changes possible through TCC practice. I would like to see more articles in The Vital Force focusing on health and life changes.

Susan DiGregario, Punta Gorda, FL: I practice T’ai Chi–would like to know the differences between T’ai Chi and T’ai Chi Chih.

Patricia Campbell, OSF, Guilford, IN: At the Wholistic Growth Resources in Little Falls, MN is where I was introduced to TCC. Srs. Francis Kay and Jackie Kingsbury taught me–bringing calmness, centering–a gentle approach to daily exercise.

Marilyn Fordney, Oxnard, CA: Taught by Pamela Towne in Camarillo, CA. TCC has meant spiritual uplift, I’m more relaxed and less tense daily, better able to cope with stress, my physic energy has been enhanced, my creative energy is boundless. Would like a section in VFJ on psychic energy enhancement by those that practice TCC and some of their experiences.

Joy Spoerke, W. Palm Beach FL: Asilomar and Grand Teton Retreat; Carmen Brocklehurst, teacher; TCC has helped me to slow down.

Kathy Vieth, St. Louis, MO: Introduced to TCC at a workshop in Southern Missouri. Learning by Justin and Steve’s video tapes now. TCC has increased my chi flow; I’d like to do teacher training soon.

N.T. Brown, Centreville, MD: Learned about TCC in Taos, NM and have taught myself with Justin’s book. Have found the movements to be very beneficial, both physically and spiritually.
