Below was written and posted on his own page by my friend, Hajime Naka. Lots of wisdom!
"Of all the martial arts, exercises, Qigong Tai Chi is unique in that it connects one to their body ,heartmind, emotions, and spirit in away that can transform one's life..Whether one practices martial applications, push hands, health, meditation, or spiritual cultivation, Qigong Tai Chi can meet all your needs in one practice...If you are seeking happiness, peace, meaning and purpose in your life, Qigong Tai Chi can help you...
When starting Tai Chi as a beginner, you will experience the frustration of not being able to relax, move slowly and smoothly, feeling balanced, focussed, and remembering the form...
Part of the frustration is that we live in fast paced, changing, stressful, uncertain world, with many challenges, like wars, climate destruction, genocide, loss of freedom, and the corruption , abuse of power by the billionaire oligarchs..
There is a way to resist this insanity. Don't feel like you are a victim, slave, prisoner or invisible..When we give up our power, autonomy, to the corporations, we feel helpless and powerless..Qigong Tai Chi connects to what is really important and essential ,so we can live a meaningful life with a purpose , virtue, compassion..
Start by slowing down, breathing slower and deeper, relaxing by releasing tension, be aware, be present,.Listen to your body, it holds wisdom, knowledge, information, life experience, but it also holds trauma, memories, and potential..
The body wants to be healthy, happy, we can be active participants in the bodies healing journey..Qigong Tai Chi practice is one way that we value, honour, respect, our body, life, and how we participate in our community and in the world..
We can counter all the violence, hate, mistrust, fear, by practicing loving kindness, telling the truth, stand up against injustice, developing critical thinking and listening skills..
Let's restore our faith in humanity, by becoming whole. authentic, and be creative, curious, [playful], and smile ,you are on cosmic camera. All my relations, love you . "
