health, wellbeing & performance
By Chris 2 Comments
I set my small electronic clock to count down from 8 minutes, pressed the start button, and stepped back into my ’embrace the tree posture’.
I relaxed into my posture and thought time would go quick as this was my 8 minute session as compared to the normal 20 minute sessions I do on alternative days.
I had another delightful experience during a Chair Chi session at an aged care centre.
One of the residents, 99-years-old, Italian background, spoke little English, was watching me intently as I demonstrated an exercise that helps relieve arthritis. I counted out each movement in English; 1,2,3,4,5 and then in Italian; una, due, tre, quattro, cinque.
Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.
