HOLIDAYS

Hello to all my students.I want to wish all of you happy holidays and a healthy new year.Please remember that this is a time for giving and appreciating how lucky and blessed we are.Then lets try to improve something within our selves so we can really enjoy next year.I vote for trying to not take anything personal and accepting other peoples differences.Sounds easy but you might have to meditate each day for 10minutes in order for us to really get it.Please try it and let me know how its working for you.If you dont -I wont take it personal. With Love taichi Mike

Bmindful

BMINDFUL is what I have on my licence plate and lots of my friends and students ask me what does it mean.In the beginning of my Taiji journey it was more about being aware of my actions-to make sure I was being courteous of others-to make sure that I was being nice to others.That was the easy part for most people who stay with taiji are already kind of nice.Then I had to learn to be nice and gentle with myself-I had to stop picking on my mistakes with the form and not get annoyed that I cant remember stuff-I started to treat myself better with mind chatter -with food intake--with what and who is important in my life--I had to learn forgiveness-and that was difficult.....Then after many years of learning I began to understand the Bmindful was all about of learning to BE in the MOMENT of life each day! That does take some work and strength and focus- but when you are able to enjoy the little things in life and the world slows down and your body and mind and breath are connected--Well my friends- at that moment "ALL IS WELL" and life is a beautiful place...Good luck on your journey...
