happy Mothers day

  Lets take the time to pay respects to our Moms....If they are still alive-make sure you show some love-make sure you make contact-make sure you tell them what is needed to say! before they are not here.....Flowers are nice but a heartfelt call or letter would really make your Moms day...To the people who have lost their Moms-remember that they will still hear a prayer....To the people who have not forgiven their Moms-remember she did give you LIFE.....And if you are a MOM   please give yourself a big smile/hug to celebrate what you have done for the world......Ciao   Sifu Mike

The four agreements

   Happy March...There is a book named the "Four agreements"   Words to live by...Something for the kids and for us...Be IMPECCABLE with your words...Don't take things PERSONAL...Always try your BEST...Do not make ASSUMPTIONS .    If  we could be strong in all those areas -then our life would be so much calmer and our relationship would bloom......Try it -you will like it     Sifu Mike

words of wisdom from the masters

Good day to all my wonderful friends and students:      As you know Taiji is called meditation in motion...Being in the moment with our movement is not only relaxing but also very SAFE!  Most accidents and FALLS happen because our mind is not connected to our actions. That is sad for so many are injured or worse because of a moment of distraction.ie: (texting and driving)  Learning to BE present and right here right now is not easy-it is the deeper meaning of being MINDFUL !!  There is a quote by Lao Tzu that also helps us understand that life is better and happier when we are HERE and in the moment......"if you are depressed-you are living in the past -if you are anxious -you are living in the future-if you are at PEACE-you are living in the present!!      Please practice your Taiji and meditations daily and you will find that being in the moment becomes easier.....Ciao and enjoy the day
