The Tiger's Mouth Blog: Caring for ourselves and others
To the Senior Leadership of Fung Loy Kok Institute of Taoism, thank you for all that you are doing to assist with our individual journeys to a deeper level of Taoist Tai Chi® practice.
In the last several months I have certainly found a deepening of my own practice and a clearer understanding that it is not primarily about the physical effects. I am so grateful to you all for all this work you continue to do; for the chanting that has such a beneficial vibrational resonance and for the wonderful and enlightening discussions following. It has all contributed to our success in weathering this continuing pandemic storm we are all experiencing.
On that note , as a retired Critical Care Nurse who has spent decades caring for seriously ill patients on ventilators, I am well aware of the potentially lethal consequences of not respecting this SARS-CoV2 virus as it burns a huge swath through humanity. I am so grateful for your wise and responsible decision to forgo any in person gatherings for the foreseeable future. The reality is, it will be many months still before that can safely happen . And so, our weekly gatherings along with our own practice, both the physical as well as the journeying to our own spiritual centres will sustain us over the coming months. In the end we will come out of this stronger and more aware that it is us as individuals who can grow our personal depth of the body, mind, spirit connection .
Thank you and be well all.
