  When I started Taoist Tai Chi® practice, there were many things that I had a hard time doing physically without pain; getting dressed, putting my socks on, sitting, getting up, taking long walks … These seemingly small movements affected the quality of my life and even my attitude towards life. I never thought Taoist […]

In the early fall I noticed a delicate pink lily was peeking out of a potentilla bush. I realized that the lily had embarked on a difficult journey to reach the light,  persevering through dense foliage. With commitment and time, it succeeded.  That lily prompted me to reflect on my own journey on the path […]

Être pris dans un bouchon de circulation, être témoin d’une conversation animée, attendre longtemps dans une file sont des exemples de situations qui m’ont longtemps exaspéré. Maintenant je profite plutôt de ces opportunités pour cultiver ma compassion, ma patience, et ma sensibilité. J’apprends à rester attentif à mes réactions et à celles des autres. J’apprécie […]

La pratique des arts Tai Chi Taoïste® m’aide à dissoudre les barrages mentaux et émotifs que j’ai construits en moi-même au fil des ans. Ils s’effacent peu à peu. Les mouvements de fondation assouplissent mon corps et mon état d’esprit. Il y a cinq ans, quand j’ai commencé l’entraînement, je pensais être une personne timide. Aujourd’hui, […]

I enjoy walking nearby trails during the warmer months, but I’ve always found it difficult and challenging to walk on colder and snowy days because of my health issues; for that reason I stopped going for walks when winter comes. Last winter we had heavy snow and the scenery – even looking from the window […]

J’associe la pratique des arts Tai Chi Taoïste® à manger un bol de soupe. Je sens que cela nourrit littéralement mon corps.

Après une période de convalescence, j’ai été en mesure de recommencer à prendre des marches. Au bas de cet escalier, j’ai hésité… Mon conjoint m’a alors encouragée en me disant que je n’avais qu’à monter une marche à la fois. Arrivée en haut, j’ai fait le lien avec ma pratique des arts Tai Chi Taoïste®. […]

My personal practice has become about letting go: letting go of counting how many donyus I do; letting go of the habit of doing jongs only while waiting for the toast to pop or the kettle to boil; letting go of unrealistic goals. I now have an understanding of the stillness that comes from just doing […]

Avant la pandémie, ma pratique personnelle consistait à intégrer les instructions et les corrections reçues lors des classes précédentes et à observer la nouvelle sensation. Maintenant, avec les sages conseils de nos directeurs de laisser aller, de se faire confiance, d’être constante, j’investigue d’abord mes sensations sans consigne précise. Je suis plus observatrice qu’actrice. Parfois […]
