@Lorraine DeYoung Welcome to this wonderful Taichi family!

“Stand tall like a mountain, flow like a great river and learn to play with gravity.”
The first part of this statement is a classical saying associated with Tai Ji while the addition of “learn to play with gravity” is something my teacher in Beijing, Zhang Wei Dong, would add. He never said whether it was his own or something he heard from somewhere else, but to me it always fit perfectly with the classical phrase. Does this statement resonate or inspire you? Does it make you think of any particular part of your practice? I will get started first below in the comments!

@Patrick Cunningham Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Yes, I totally get where you're coming from. "Quality from our environment" I also had so much anxiety thinking that I needed to keep up with my family and the world's expectations of what I needed to be. Not anymore! I'm so happy and at peace with my life because I engaged with like minded people and I'm learning to love myself and the world that I'm creating around me because of Taichi practicing! Yes, our wheel is turning and we're becoming balanced!

Great Practice!!
I'm able to remember each step and the arm movements associated with each movement! It felt awesome to flow through gently instead of continuously stopping. I can't say that I am able to do it on my own without watching Sonny but I can now follow Sonny through one whole segment! I gained some confidence this morning! I will continue to practice through this class again today until I can visualize it on my own! Power on Friends, we can do this!! 🕴️🤺

@Adam S I agree! I really like practicing alone too. I turn on my Himilayan Sea Salt lamps and dress really cool and comfy, have a glass of sparkling mineral water ready and breathe. It's so important to have a quiet, comfortable spot to be in. Whatever works, just practice every day as often as you can!

@Maya Rodriguez Yes! Yay for ALL of us that spend every chance we get to practice! It takes continuous repetition for me to remember some forms. You are doing amazing too! I love seeing you and your Mom practicing together. I wish my Mother could join us. But, I admire your patience and enjoy watching you learning right along with us. You are truly so beautiful and I admire your dedication and encouragement. 🤗 See you all tomorrow!

Walking and Qigong
I have always been a walker. I usually do 3-4 miles each day with some fairly significant elevation changes. I found that as I got older the elevation changes did make me pant increasingly more. I started over the last two weeks to work some of the Qigong breathing elements into my walking using my arms to help pace the inhale and exhale timing on the inclines. Over the last couple of days I have noticed that my breathing is becoming slightly slower on the steep grades. I am hopeful and optimistic that this will help me to get into a more relaxed place with the more challenging walks. Thanks Sonny!

Great info on walking 🚶♀️ I walk alot. I have 2 Maltipoos, Luke & Layla. They remind me daily to walk on the beach ⛱️ I also walk on a treadmill nearly every day, not as often as I would like to. I need to re-set my goals for the coming New Year -2026. I will. So, I will keep this info in my mind as I walk. I need to change some of my thoughts too 😕 🤔 lol! I will. Thank you for sharing that!
