Taikokyu-ka Hello I wanted to thank everybody for putting such a great effort in for the whole year. We are a couple classes away from finishing 52 weeks of Taikokyu Live. You should be proud of your commitment. I’m certainly proud of you. Especially those of you that I’ve gotten to know over the last months by tuning in on Fridays directly so I could have a chance to meet you all. I know some of the most exciting times of the year have been taking my Taikokyu on the road with me wherever I go and elucidating that to all of you. Actually, I’ve always made time for movement so that my body doesn’t stiffen up, either through Travel itself, or sitting around, or after getting sick, or having an accident of some kind. Our bodies demand to move and it is pretty loud at times. If we simply ignore signs our body gives us, bits and pieces will just fall into disuse and at times disrepair. I know that sounds kind of glum. I don’t mean it that way really but I am saying that wherever you go and wherever you are, our bodies are there serving us so it’s a darn good idea to take care of every aspect of our movement and enhanced movement and over all Health. Now it sounds cliché but whatever it takes for us to switch on to the altruism of health then so be it. I have talked about the notion of eating well many times, this too cannot be overstated. In many parts of the world, but especially the west, the winter solstice and Christmas holidays beckon our attention and are calling us to eat foods we wouldn’t normally eat and drink things we wouldn’t normally drink, or at least not in the quantities we get exposed to at this time of year. Our fortitude to moderate the intake of the “questionable”is at peak attentiveness right now! Even though it might not seem like it, our diet and mental health are directly proportional to one another. If you can’t trust that just remember a time that you ate something that you later either regretted or it made you ill in someway. This is a great place to feel that out.
