L’eau / The stream
Avec le temps, jour après jour, l’eau creuse son lit. Avec le temps, jour après jour, la pratique quotidienne des arts Tai Chi Taoïste® polit chaque pierre de mon chemin. Over time, day after day, the stream carves out its path. Over time, day after day, Taoist Tai Chi® practice polishes each stone on my path. ~Denis

Offering of Thanks to Deities / Gratitude aux déités
As we prepare for Chinese New Year, participants from around the world gathered together virtually to thank the deities for the blessings received over the past year. The ceremony included the chanting of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sutra to pay respect and express gratitude to all deities. En vue du Nouvel An chinois, des participants […]
Worry and Anxiety Hurt
Worry and anxiety hurt. Practicing Taoist Tai Chi®️ arts while in nature helps me let go, regain perspective, and feel joyful. ~Theresa
Bol de soupe / Bowl of soup
J’associe la pratique des arts Tai Chi Taoïste® à manger un bol de soupe. Je sens que cela nourrit littéralement mon corps. J’ai aussi parfois l’impression que c’est comme partager un bon repas avec des amis. Je me sens rempli et détendu. I think of Taoist Tai Chi® practice like eating a bowl of soup. […]

Caché / Hiding
Sortir de sa cachette. Il y a des moments où, moi aussi, je me cache derrière la brume. Les enseignements Tai Chi Taoïste®me donnent les outils nécessaires pour émerger et resplendir de nouveau. Coming out of hiding. There are times when, I too, hide behind the mist. The teachings of the Taoist Tai Chi®arts give […]
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 […]

Une marche à la fois / One step at a time
Après une période de convalescence, j’ai été en mesure de recommencer à prendre des marches. Au bas de cet escalier, j’ai hésité… Mon conjoint m’a alors encouragée en me disant que je n’avais qu’à monter une marche à la fois. Arrivée en haut, j’ai fait le lien avec ma pratique des arts Tai Chi Taoïste®. […]

Finding Stillness in a time of chaos/ Trouver la tranquilité en plein cahos
My personal practice has become about letting go: letting go of counting how many donyus I do; letting go of the habit of doing jongs only while waiting for the toast to pop or the kettle to boil; letting go of unrealistic goals. I now have an understanding of the stillness that comes from just doing […]
Laisser tomber ses résistances / Letting go of resistance
Avant la pandémie, ma pratique personnelle consistait à intégrer les instructions et les corrections reçues lors des classes précédentes et à observer la nouvelle sensation. Maintenant, avec les sages conseils de nos directeurs de laisser aller, de se faire confiance, d’être constante, j’investigue d’abord mes sensations sans consigne précise. Je suis plus observatrice qu’actrice. Parfois […]
A path of balance
Eighteen years ago I began Taoist Tai Chi® practice with the goal of improving my physical well being. Tai chi was recommended to me as an exercise I could attempt even though I was extremely ill with a progressive liver disease and the many associated symptoms caused by a failing liver. I had no idea […]
Garder le cap / Stay on track
Tout comme l’eau qui trace son chemin, j’avance doucement, pas à pas en allant toujours de l’avant et en progressant avec les arts Tai Chi Taoïste® qui me montrent à garder le cap face aux obstacles. Just like water running its course, I move slowly, step by step, always going forward, progressing through my practice […]

A New Body
I am so thankful to Fung Loy Kok Institute of Taoism™ every day. I had both of my hips replaced 10+ years ago and last summer I was up on the cottage roof laying down new shingles. What I have discovered over the years is that the surgeries removed the damaged and painful surfaces, but […]
Keeping Balance at 93
I am 93 years old. Twelve years ago, I was having a difficult time dealing with the passing of my wife. My daughter suggested I try tai chi. She thought the exercise, and getting out and meeting new people, would help me deal with the grief. I found the Fung Loy Kok Institute of Taoism […]
