TCC Approach to Healing

(from Albuquerque TCC News)

Here is a note to express my gratitude to Justin and to T’ai Chi Chih. Not only does T’ai Chi Chih bring us immediate joy but continues to transform our experience far into the future.

I would like to share a recent experience. As many of you know I broke my right leg (the fibula near the ankle) on December 9. When I got out of the cast and was weight-bearing again, I began trying the T’ai Chi Chih movements.

At first the only movements I could approximate were Rocking Motion and Bird Flaps Its Wings. Every day I would gauge my will to do T’ai Chi Chih against the competence of my muscles. The stiffness that had set in as a protection device for the injury gradually gave way (is giving way) to the healing flow of the Chi. Last week I finally could do the entire series and yesterday I joined the group for T’ai Chi Chih practice. I sense daily improvement in my strength and in the smoothness of the motions. I definitely recommend using T’ai Chi Chih as a means of tuning in and flowing with the life force as a therapeutic approach.

Again, thanks to Justin for this wonderful gift that he so generously gives to us all.
