Pratique personnelle
Helps with stress, better sleep.
I had high stress, high anxiety, lots of pain, and very poor sleep. I was a mess and my lifestyle was not healthy. Almost by chance I tried out a Taoist Tai Chi®arts class. I noticed very soon after that my anxiety was more manageable and my pain started to go away so I […]
Forever Young/Éternellement jeune
J’ai 89 ans. Pour moi, les arts Tai Chi Taoïste® sont une méditation en mouvement qui m’apportent tout ce dont j’ai besoin pour me sentir bien. Je peux faire ça pour moi! Quand je pratique l’ouverture de la cage thoracique et l’étirement de la colonne vertébrale, j’aime ressentir ce qui se passe à l’intérieur de […]

Darkness and Light
Out of darkness comes light: If the quarantine, lockdown or isolation due to Covid-19 is the darkness, then the light is the cultivation and growth of my personal practice of the Taoist Tai ChiⓇ arts. While our in-person sessions are on hold, the continued urging by the leadership of Fung Loy Kok Institute of Taoism […]
Taoist Tai Chi® practice and weightlifting
I have been practising Taoist Tai Chi® arts consistently since I turned 28. Now 22 years later and through many years of competing nationally and internationally as an Olympic-style weightlifter and powerlifter, I find that Taoist Tai Chi® practice is an integral part of my physical, mental and spiritual health. I am proud of […]
Quietude
J’ai besoin de quiétude, d’harmonie pour que les changements se produisent à l’intérieur de mon être. Mon corps se prédispose alors à recevoir de nouvelles consignes, de nouvelles directions, pour enregistrer le mouvement, la sensation, le changement intérieur. I have calm and a feeling of harmony to allow changes to take place within me. […]
Increased Energy
I take prescription medication that suppresses central nervous system activity, making it hard for me to get up in the morning. In BC, the online chanting and Board of Directors discussions take place on Saturday mornings at 6:30 am. When the suspension of in-person activities happened, I was excited to have the opportunity to chant […]
Self Care Day
In our Taoist Tai Chi® practice we say “to help others we need to help ourselves. » We are learning to be strong, mindful and harmonious. ~Stefan
Working in Harmony
“When I’m playing, everything is working in harmony. Mind, body, music. Harmony and dissonance are so important in music. Taoist Tai Chi® practice has enriched my idea of harmony and everything working together. I can feel when it’s all coming together. » ~Oren

My Reflections
Fung Loy Kok Institute of Taoism celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2020. Participants were encouraged to think about 50 reasons for practicing Taoist Tai Chi® arts. As I reflect on my years of Taoist Tai Chi® practice, physical benefits such as better balance and strength come to my mind. I am still quite flexible despite […]
Finding Joy
Eyes gazing softly out, joy and tranquility enter my Taoist Tai ChiⓇ practice allowing my body to soften, the softness allowing my body to open. Le regard au loin, joie et tranquillité entrent dans ma pratique Tai Chi TaoïsteⓇ, permettant à mon corps de s’adoucir, la douceur permettant à mon corps de s’ouvrir. ~Denise
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 […]
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. I think creativity requires an openness, and this practice develops the strength and balance for openness, both physically and mentally. The practice helps clear my mind, helps stop worrying and calms me physically and mentally so that I […]
Connection
La pratique Tai Chi Taoiste® relieJe sens qu’elle crée un pont dans mon corpsOù commence mon bras ? où finit-il?Un pont entre mes os, mes tendons, mes fascias… entre mes pieds et mes mainsEntre mon corps, mon coeur et mon espritEntre les principes féminins et masculins qui m’habitentEntre le Yin et le YangEntre la terre […]
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. […]
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 […]
Peace and Calm
I spent a year in Thunder Bay and frequently did my Taoist Tai Chi® practice as I overlooked Lake Superior and the beautiful land formation called Sleeping Giant or Nanabijou. The practice opened me to the vastness and beauty of the landscape, and I felt a oneness with nature and a deep peace and calm […]
