Quotes from Justin

Justin said to four participants from the town of Truth or Consequences, NM: “Now that you know the truth, there won’t be any consequences.”

“Let your arms fall off when doing T’ai Chi Chih.”

“The sinking down is the essence of T’ai Chi Chih.”

“It’s not what, but how, you move that’s important. Don’t worry about the upper body.”

“T’ai Chi Chih is not to be done mechanically.”

Quotes from Sister Antonia

“The difficult times are more growthful than the easy times.”

“What is my present reality and does T’ai Chi Chih make me more accepting of my present reality?”

“We think we should do T’ai Chi Chih perfectly, but it’s T’ai Chi Chih practice.”

“Discover the gift you are meant to be to yourself and to others.”

Quotes from other participants

“T’ai Chi Chih is one of the few things that brings me stillness.”

“I’m here to find out what’s going on inside.”

“I know TCC is the form I need to do. I know this is my truth.”

“The main thing that draws me here is the caring. Human beings are social creatures.”

“One of the greatest gifts of T’ai Chi Chih is the ‘graceful conclusion.’ I use it to adjust my body before I go on to the next movement.”
