TCC Meditation in Albuquerque
By: Loretta Shiver

The TCC Meditation workshop with Steve Ridley on April 17 was a beautiful and enriching experience. The day alternated between TCC practice and meditation, with Steve’s gentle words helping us along. We sat quietly inside, breathing, relaxing and letting go, allowing ourselves to recognize and touch the larger life, the loving energy that surrounds us always. Then we went outside to embrace the sky, to practice TCC with open hearts in the bright New Mexico sunshine. Steve read to us, talked to us, answered questions and clarified a few movements. What a wonderful day it was!
It is such a treat to spend a day like this. More than that to me, and I’m sure to many others. It is absolutely essential to maintain a strong connection and to provide opportunities to step away from a busy and demanding life. As a working mother who tries to express creative urges of my own, I need a strong practice that will keep me strong and in balance. I need to feel and know that the love I spread around all day to my family and students is easily replenished. I walked away from the day happy, content, rested, definitely replenished and filled to the top with love. Thank you Steve for sharing yourself with us here in Albuquerque and showing us what we are capable of.
