Welcome to T'ai Chi it is my privilege to share this amazing practice with you. With each lesson your understanding will increase, your sensitivity will increase, your sense of relaxation and presence will increase. And these benefits are just the tip of the iceberg.
 Your journey inward is the most important journey you can make.  The more you come to know and love yourself on the inside the more you can fulfil your life's purpose and achieve all your dreams.

I have begun to teach the Da-Lu to my advanced class on Monday night so we did some work on it during our prastice session on Tuesday. It was really interesting to notice how the body stores memories of 'forms ' you have worked on even if it has been a year or two since you 'visited ' that practice. So much fun reawakening the body's memory. A Big Thanks to Michael and Sara for digging in with me.

What's Here Now ?

What's here now ?

This question draws us into our current experience.

Just take a moment to motice the sensations in your body right now.

Listen to it's messages, they are speaking to you  moment to moment serving your best interests.

When we take time to STOP and listen to our body's wisdom we become aligned with our higher self. The body never lies it cannot lie , our minds may fabricate all sorts of scenarios but our body never lies.
Each time you take a few moments to Listen to your body you are developing your intuition the more you practice the more you come to experience it's wisdom.

So Stop right now and take a moment Listen to it's sensations.

How are your feet feeling ? really listen and then say thank you to your feet for letting you know how they feel. Now say "I Love You " to your feet.

Listen again, what part of YOUR body is speaking to you right now ?
Now thank that part of your body and again say "I Love You " to that part of your body.

When you make a habit of this practice I promise your life will flow more smoothly , your health will improve and your body and mind will thrive,

Your whole energy body will begin to Hummmmm with Well Being and Love

So  give yourself the attention and Love that you deserve,  you will be adding more Love to our planet and we will all benefit from your LOVE.

Another Great Day in The West

I love these Sunday T'ai Chi journeys.

I am always curious to see the changes in the landscape as the clouds part on wet days.

I never tire of these mountains ,

And the light inspires and fills my heart 

To overflowing.

This beauty awakens my love of and for this lifetime.

For the privilege to travell and see God's work.

And man' efforts to connect,

Are also beautiful and uplifting.

All in All a great journey.

Silhouettes and Steeples On The Way to T'ai Chi

I love being surprised by ' new' views of my favourite steeples.

And skylines from different angles.

Had a coffee with my brother Donal home on a visit from Fiji and frozen with the cold .

We met at the Glucksman on a sunny day.

Donal said that the silhouettes of winter trees are some of his favourite sights as he drives around  visiting people during  these winter visits.  I agree with him I think that our winter landscape is wonderful it even makes up for yhe cold.

More Steeples as I pass through town.

Some barely visible in the distance !

So much beauty in our amazing world.

The Most Powerful Antioxidant

By far the most powerful antioxidant ever is always available and it is absolutely FREE.
Even though it is widely available and always free, in fact maybe because it is always available and free we tend to overlook it.

            LOVE,         LOVE,         LOVE   !

 Love heals all wounds, physical , emotional, spiritual, and financial.
All wounds stem from lack and the basic lack that most of us suffer from is lack of LOVE.
Love heals all wounds, physical, emotional, spiritual and financial. When you enquire beneath the surface of problem no matter what they appear to be you will find that there is a search for completion. This sense of completion is never satisfied by external gains ( even though there is Nothing Wrong and Everything Right with having external gains ).
Remember when you had a bad pain ( maybe a tooth ache ) and you told yourself that if only the pain was gone you would be fine and never complain again. The dentist visit sorted out the pain, you forgot about your decision to be fine and sure enough another 'issue ' replaced the toot ache.
 At least that is how I operated, always searching for the next 'fix'. Now there is nothing wrong with with this, in one sense it is what led me to realise eventually that finding those answers to life's issues never solved the basic 'problem' which was hidden beneath all those external issues.
The underlying issue (for me at least and I don't think that I am unusual ) was. a deep sense of unworthiness, or unloveableness. I have found that as I work on Letting Go of my unloving feelings and replace them with LOVING feelings that sense of unworthiness is dissolving and I am learning to LOVE and APPROVE of myself more each day. I have also noticed that this LOVINGNESS doesn't stop with me but extends to my world . People seem more beautiful, the world looks more beautiful and  seems more of a safe Loving place to dwell.
So why not join me in finding the LOVE inside. Listen to Your own voice as you start saying" I LOVE YOU ".

Say  "I LOVE YOU " to your body.

Say  "I LOVE YOU " to your dishes as you tidy up .

Say  "I LOVE YOU "to your work.

Say  "I LOVE YOU "to your nagging mind.

Try it just make a practice of saying  "I LOVE YOU "to everything that arises and watch what happens.

For more on LOVING YOURSELF join us in Blackrock on January 30'th for the next Releasing Session. email me @ taichimcilraith@yahoo.co.uk for details.
