My Reflections

Moving through PTSD and grief
I began my Taoist Tai Chi® practice just over a year ago at one of the most challenging times in my life. I was grieving the loss of my Mom. I was experiencing symptoms of PTSD that caused me to wake up gasping and anxious, so I was not sleeping much at all. A […]
Turning around PTSD
How does one begin to recover peace of mind following traumatic life experiences? Tom’s story includes a military tour in Vietnam which left him with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and a diagnosis of cancer from exposure to Agent Orange. He discovered that with Taoist Tai Chi® arts, turning around PTSD is indeed possible. Tom tells […]
Serenity
Au moment où toutes les classes ont été interrompues, nos directeurs ont été rassurants avec des consignes simples et nous ont offert l’opportunité de pratiquer le chanting. J’ai voulu en découvrir les bienfaits. Après quelques semaines, à ma grande surprise, aux bienfaits physiques (posture, concentration, voix plus forte), s’est ajoutée la joie de chanter pour […]
Peace of Mind
La quiétude n’est pas facile à atteindre pour moi. La pratique Tai Chi Taoïste® et le lâcher prise m’aident à y avoir accès et à l’intégrer en profondeur. Attaining peace of mind is not easy for me. Taoist Tai Chi® practice and letting go help me to access and integrate it more deeply.~Christine
Trust yourself and just Do
Taoist Tai Chi® practice is just so part of my life that it affects everything, including my art.

The practice helps clear my mind, helps stop worrying and calms me physically and mentally so that I […]

Being like Water
For the past 3 months during my individual practice of the Taoist Tai Chi® arts, I have discovered a fluidity that I have been searching for for years. The need to practice for hours at a time has changed into a deeper sense of slow, fluid, motion arising from letting the spirit lead the practice. […]

World MS Day
I have MS and was getting petrifying attacks of paralysis. Within four months of beginning Taoist Tai Chi® arts, I could move again and my balance had improved. Taoist Tai Chi® practice is the greatest thing you can do for yourself. ~Sylvia
Moving Meditation
J’ai appris que la pratique Tai Chi TaoïsteMD est une méditation en mouvement. Lorsque je suis dans le moment présent, je ne pense plus à rien, mon corps détendu suit le mouvement et mon esprit est léger. Quel bien être, lorsque je pense à toutes les peurs et les distractions que je peux avoir dans […]
Ankylosing Spondylitis
I have ankylosing spondylitis which primarily affects my spine. When the inflammation is happening, it’s quite painful. I’ve been doing Taoist Tai Chi® ever since I was first diagnosed in 1988, and that’s what I mostly use to manage the pain and the illness. It keeps me moving … if I don’t move, I seize […]

On Chanting
I was first introduced to chanting a couple of years ago at a retreat week, and I wasn’t much taken by it. However I didn’t want to be separate from the group, so I joined in. I continued to chant on Sunday at my Toronto location. I found it soothing before the session began. When […]

Volunteering / Le Bénévolat
My experience shows me that helping each other and volunteering are gifts that open my heart and allow me to become a better person. Volunteering is part of Taoist Tai Chi® training and it helps build my personality. Mon expérience personnelle me montre que l’entraide et le bénévolat sont en fait un cadeau, qui permet […]
