Spontaneous Chi and the Awakening of Faith

By the grace of God, this moment. And this.
By the grace of God, Justin. And all else.
By the grace of God, the radiant jewel called T’ai Chi Chih Joy Thru Movement. Joy, joy, joyous joy.

Each moment is a new creation. A gift. Can we live with such an exquisite awareness? Can we live without it?

I’ve had the privilege of practicing and teaching Joy Thru Movement since Justin certified me in Mill Valley[, CA] in December 1980. I’ve taught over 4000 students of all ages and temperaments. It is a great joy to share these simple and beautiful movements. Those who really practice, the faithful 10%, get great benefits. The rest perhaps have seeds planted for another time when they are ready to commit to this gentle discipline. Or another. As Jesus said, “In my Father’s house there are many mansions.”

All the while, the precious moment awaits our return, like a lover.

I have found in my practices (daily for 23 years) that each session, each movement, is new, fresh, an exploration, a silent adventure. Everything changes; everything is in a constant state of transformation. So it is spontaneous chi unfolding.

And I’ve also sensed a great and powerful awakening of faith as I’ve joined the millions of practitioners of Tai Chi and Chi Kung who have sought union with Reality throughout the centuries.

I’ve found that non-duality already is and practice is the way to purify consciousness so that it can actually stand in and function out of the white heat of this union.

By the grace of God, this moment. Our heartbeat. Joy. Humor. Love. Peace. And enormous Grace, forever available to each and all.
