Tai Chi On The Run

By Leave a Comment

Things are getting very busy here so it’s difficult to fit in my Tai Chi training during the day.

When I’m working in my home office I can regulate my 3 sessions of training throughout the day but out on the road I have to find the time to practice my Tai Chi.

I may have Chair Chi sessions for aged care centres or wellbeing programs for primary, secondary students or major assignments in facilitation and training which I run with Sue James my business partner in BJ Seminars International; sometimes it involves interstate and the occassional trip overseas.

Chair Chi: 16 Residents = 1543 Years-Old

A couple of days ago I ran another Chair Chi session for an aged care center and the residents ages ranged from 90 to 103 years-old. That’s over 1543 years of age!

What an amazing experience. It certainly reaffirmed my belief that age is not a barrier to practicing Chi exercises that can help calm and also energise when required.

Good Christmas Chi

By Leave a Comment

Well, it’s that time of the year to scale down my Tai Chi training and enjoy my Christmas holidays.

Usually over a two to three week period I reduce my training down to a minimum practicing only the forms. This gives me a good mental break away from a standard routine of training throughout the year.

Also I get a chance to reflect on my training and on what I want to achieve for the coming year. I will need to make adjusments because of my BJ Seminars International work, and my expanding Chair Chi sessions which will take up quite a lot of time and energy next year.

So to all my readers (1 or 2?) of this site I hope you enjoy a lot of good Christmas Chi.
