My Self Practice
I came to FLK and Taoist Tai Chi® arts in June 1991, so just 30 years ago. The time has gone so fast; I feel like I am still a beginner, and I am still a beginner. During the pandemic I was encouraged to practice on my own. Little by little I learned to stop trying so hard to do it correctly and to just do what I can. By not trying so hard my balance is better, settling into my very flat feet happens without pain and, despite having COPD, breathing is also more relaxed some of the time.
I have wrestled all my life with anxiety and depression. Bit by bit my Taoist training has relieved that struggle. I learned that doing dan yus can stop the onset of depression. Now, on nights when I cannot sleep and get spells of anxiety, doing Taoist Tai Chi® arts relieves these spells, and they happen less frequently. I am grateful for the weekly international gatherings. The discussion of Master Moy’s teachings has been truly inspiring and has led me to recognize the spiritual path I am on, it is a path that I follow in my not particularly disciplined way, but I have learned to just keep doing it. I am 76 and in fairly good physical shape, but I hope to take my training into the future, learning how to be content with dying. Some days there is a deep sense of joy in being in touch with eternity and the universe.

Polishing the Jade
Listening to our weekly discussions has given me a deeper understanding of what it means to be balanced, consistent, and to let go. Doing things with heart, having patience, and self-reflection have opened my eyes to look deeper to appreciate their possible meanings and importance. The tools that are helping me in my physical and chanting practices are also helpful in my decision making and approach to daily life. These sessions have sparked the interest within me to dig deeper. I am gaining a great appreciation for this time with minimal distractions to work at bettering myself, polishing my jade.
