Teacher convinced after hosting course

I’ll be honest. I have always had my doubts about T’ai Chi Chih Joy Thru Movement. Even though I moved five and a half years ago to Albuquerque to study with Justin and traveled once a month from all over the country to be with him two years prior to my move, I have never really believed in it. I believe in Justin as a tremendous, once in generation teacher, but my heart has always been with meditation and T’ai Chi Chih Joy Thru Movement has always been of second importance to me.

But that has changed now. I volunteered to be the course host this [past] November [for the teacher training]. It is the first time I have been present through an entire teachers training and I watched 16 people transform before my eyes. When they arrived, I was only certain about two of the 16 students. The rest were not moving well at all. With their own hard work, Pam’s steady guidance and the help of the many auditors that were constantly present, the students started moving over the course of the week. As they moved, their attitudes changed. Stress, anger, unhappiness melted away and in it’s place came joy and happiness. It was absolutely amazing to watch it happen and for some of the new teachers, this week may be the deepest level of consciousness that they achieve in this life. Regardless, it was a beautiful thing to watch and at the end of the course, I couldn’t contain my gratitude that I was allowed to participate in the process.

Needless to say, I am convinced. We have 16 new teachers. We had no deferrals, thanks to Pam and the auditors. We had a wonderful week together.
