TCC Guides, Heals, Protects

Tai Chi Chih was a miracle during a very hard time. In 2016 my mother-in-law began suffering from severe depression and anxiety and was institutionalized many times. My heart raced and my head pounded when we visited her, and so for comfort, I did some TCC movements in the family lounge area. I became more serious at Mary Wichmann’s practices and noticed that the practice gave me space to breathe and allowed me to feel peaceful.

As my mother-in-law became sicker and another family member suffering from alcoholism was hospitalized, I once again relied on my practice to ground me. I worked with Mary and Christine McLain to get two referrals for teacher accreditation. Then my mother-in-law hanged herself and the alcoholic blamed me for the family troubles.

Without TCC I could never have gotten through that situation. I became accredited in June 2019 and now speak to many mental health clinics, treatment facilities and halfway homes to share TCC. My hope is to help someone choose life instead of suicide, to know how the joy of TCC can guide, heal, protect and lead to a life of peace and calm.
