Spring 2008
Ask me "Why I stay on Blue Mountain?"
I smile, do not answer, My heart at ease
Peach blossom, Flowing water
Into the distance, another world.
-Li Bei
Dear Tai Chi Friends,
Happy Chinese New Year of the Earth Rat! I hope this letter finds you well. I want to let you know about some changes in my schedule so I'm enclosing an updated Spring Tai Chi schedule. Please note, the NEW First Circle class starting Monday, February 25th and the NEW Third Circle class starting Monday, March 3.
The Year of the Rat is a time to focus on new beginnings, and on seeing each of the Tai Chi moves from a fresh perspective. My teacher has given some new teachings and things to focus on in 2008. What is important is the quality of our Tai Chi movements, rather than the number of movements that we know. He painted a Chinese brush calligraphy of Te, Substance, which is getting to the flesh and bones. This means that we need to embody our Tai Chi movements with more expression and Chi power. Being a true Tai Chi student means continuing to take every circle to a deeper level.
He also painted a brush calligraphy of Li," going with the grain of the wood", or going with the flow of Nature. This is a good reminder, not only in Tai Chi, but in our lives in general, to let things be simple and to go with the organic flow of life.
I hope to see you in one of my Spring Tai Chi classes or for a Jin Shin Jyutsu / Reiki session in either my Cherry Creek or Boulder office. Keep dancing your Tai Chi this Spring!
Take Care!
Plucking Chrysanthemum at the east hedge
Silently, gazing at the southern mountain
The mountain air is so lovely in the sunset
Birds flocking together returning home
In all this a deeper meaning
Try to explain:no words.

“Your movement and your life can also become an
easy happening that follows the wind and the currents.”
–Tai Chi Master Chungliang Al Huang
Spring Offerings 2008:
Tai Chi will awaken your life force ~ chi energy ~ and harmonize your body, mind and spirit. It is a metaphor for life, a way of expressing your inner self, of coming back to your center, calming the clatter of your life.
