Mijn beoefening is mijn medicatie

The Journey
In the early fall I noticed a delicate pink lily was peeking out of a potentilla bush. I realized that the lily had embarked on a difficult journey to reach the light, persevering through dense foliage. With commitment and time, it succeeded. That lily prompted me to reflect on my own journey on the path […]
The Key
Being stuck in a traffic jam, witnessing an animated conversation, waiting in a long line are some situations that have long exasperated me. Now I take advantage of these opportunities to cultivate my compassion, my patience, and my sensitivity. I am learning to be mindful of my own reactions and those of others. I appreciate […]
Family
Fung Loy Kok Institute of Taoism™ means family to me. Meeting with such a large family every week for the last two years has kept me at ease on these difficult days. This strong bond has a big impact on my feeling of well-being. – Kadriye
Bowl of soup
I think of Taoist Tai Chi® practice like eating a bowl of soup. It literally nourishes my body. I sometimes see it as eating a good meal with friends. I feel well fed and relaxed. ~Stefan
Saturday Virtual Practice
The Saturday Taoist Tai Chi® arts virtual sessions have been instrumental in deepening my understanding of the organization, his teachings, and my own personal practice. Through these sessions and my practice I have come to realize my training not only contributes to my physical well-being, but is relevant to everything in my daily life, allowing me to […]
Voor altijd jong
Ik ben 89 jaar oud. Master Moy’s leringen van de Tao zijn voor mij een bewegende meditatie die me alles geeft wat ik nodig heb om me goed te voelen en ik kan dit zelf doen! Ik vind het fijn dat ik bij het oefenen van bewegingen (het openen van de borstkas en het strekken […]

Increased Energy
I take prescription medication that suppresses central nervous system activity, making it hard for me to get up in the morning. In BC, the online chanting and Board of Directors discussions take place on Saturday mornings at 6:30 am. When the suspension of in-person activities happened, I was excited to have the opportunity to chant […]
Working in Harmony
“When I’m playing, everything is working in harmony. Mind, body, music. Harmony and dissonance are so important in music. Taoist Tai Chi® practice has enriched my idea of harmony and everything working together. I can feel when it’s all coming together.” ~Oren, NYC
Wereld MS dag
Ik heb MS en kreeg angstaanjagende verlammingsaanvallen. Binnen vier maanden nadat ik begonnen was met Taoist Tai Chi® kunsten kon ik weer bewegen en was mijn balans verbeterd. Het beoefenen van Taoist Tai Chi® kunsten is het beste wat je voor jezelf kunt doen. ~Sylvia
My asthma with the practice of Taoist Tai Chi® arts
I was very young when I started suffering from allergic asthma, particularly severe during spring. So, it is years that I need to check the Oxygen blood saturation (pO2) regularly, with an oxymeter: until recently, I have been finding it around 90/92 %, which doctors found acceptable. With the practice of Taoist Tai Chi® arts […]
Ouder worden met mijn Taoist Tai Chi® beoefening
Ik geloof dat mijn beoefening van Taoist Tai Chi® kunsten heeft bijgedragen aan het tegengaan van de broosheid van het ouder worden. Ik denk dat het mijn evenwichtsgevoel, dat begon af te nemen, heeft hersteld en mijn perifere visie heeft verbeterd. Het bewustzijn van anderen om me heen die dezelfde bewegingen doen, versterkt het energieveld. Ik […]
Een lang leven met de ziekte van Parkinson
“Mijn naam is Assunta, ik heb al bijna 40 jaar de ziekte van Parkinson. Ik beoefen al bijna net zo lang Taoïstische Tai Chi® kunsten. Na mijn eerste klas wist ik al meteen dat Taoïstische Tai Chi® kunsten me hielpen. Allereerst werd ik emotioneel sterker en daarna fysiek. Alles verbeterde en ik kon medicijnen beter verdragen. Ik […]
Heart to Heart
When I started my Taoist Tai Chi® practice in 1998, I was just like every other beginner. I was eager to learn this shiny new thing. I knew nothing. With every class I attended, my confidence grew. Before I knew it, I was doing the whole set with everyone else. When the next beginner class started, I […]
Ik ben de organisatie dankbaar
Ik ben 75 jaar oud. Ik doe al zeven jaar Taoist Tai Chi® kunsten , maar een jaar geleden moest ik stoppen met lessen in verband met de zorg voor mijn man die aan seniele dementie lijdt. Dankzij de jaren dat ik Taoist Tai Chi® kunsten doe, kan ik vandaag zeggen dat het redelijk goed […]
