28 éves korom óta folyamatosan gyakorlom a Taoist Tai Chi® művészeteket. Most, 22 évvel később, nemzeti és nemzetközi súlyemelő és erőemelő versenyzéssel töltött számos év után úgy látom, a Taoist Tai Chi® fizikai, mentális és spirituális egészségem szerves részévé vált.

Dolgok, amiket hordozunk mentálisan, lelkileg és fizikailag. Saját magunk tanítói leszünk. Bizalom, felelősség, elengedés. Tanulás egy másik szinten.  Csak maradjunk a gyakorlásban. Ne aggódjunk, mi jön ezután. Érezzük magunkat kényelmesen, figyeljünk a saját testünkre.Mozdulj, bízz, érezz mélyen belül. Használjuk a gyakorlást.Segít, hogy másokat támogassunk.Mentálisan, lelkileg és fizikailag.  Nincs konkrét terv.Reflektálj, engedd, hogy megérkezzél.Az […]
