This weekend of Seijaku accreditation was a weekend of becoming re-acquainted with Seijaku in a whole new way – one I thought not even possible. I have befriended it and it has befriended me. I now understand that T’ai Chi Chih and Seijaku make a complete whole. How very generous of Justin to give us such a gift. What else, but gratitude, can fill my being? – Mary Griffin

I am not trying to manufacture the resistance: it is created internally. I am not feeling as much tension. The body is moving now with more ease. Mission accomplished. – Dorene Krause

As I was practicing Seijaku with our small community during our full Saturday afternoon practice, I suddenly envisioned a snowflake floating onto my hands. Experiencing its beauty and sudden melting, it felt like the experience of letting go. When I got home it began to grow, so I am inspired now to see what will happen. – Susanne Lewis

My intention was to open from the inside. Upon completion of this training I feel an openness that I want to share with “Joy.” A gift to myself, thank you. Place an internal angst in the resistance and release into complete softness. – Anon

I received everything I came for (and more). It is a tool to treasure and take away and share (and more). – Linda Joy

The power is all there (not just physical). I was very rigid in my approach to it. Now I am much more open and it is easier. – Tony Risos

Seijaku has given me the missing piece in T’ai Chi Chih that I didn’t know was missing. – Eileen Butler

I learned in Seijaku that I need to be super-grounded and not to push too hard. – Alba Cordasco

I was playing with resistance this weekend to find out what it was, and it was a lot of fun. I’ve realized the importance of the release (after the resistance) and the timing of that. I am coming away with an unexpected lightness. – Janet Oussaty

My T’ai Chi Chih practice deepened in unexpected ways through my Seijaku practice – notably flowing from the center and grounding. I feel more connected as One; moving as One; grounded; and flowing from the center of who I really am. I am more at home and one with myself, with others and the Universe. I am so grateful. – Karan Lee
