T’ai Chi/Qigong Testimonials
“Timothy, the participants were so deeply touched by your quiet and strong gentleness, by the wisdom that clearly manifests from your eyes and your body and by the deep content knowledge you possess. Thank you for giving us your time and for sharing your spirit.” Conference Chairperson
“I thoroughly enjoyed your Qigong class. I am not athletic in any sense of the word, but this class was a form of discipline and exercise I truly enjoyed. You are a great teacher. And thanks for all the additional subject matter you shared like the music and negative energy blockers, etc. Your class was most rewarding. I look forward to taking other classes from you in the future. Kudos to you . . .” Maureen
“This T’ai Chi class has been very enjoyable. A great stress reliever. I’ve had hardly any tension headaches since starting. Feel much more content. Thank you!!” Anonymous
“Last week I started coughing and the cough appeared to drop into my chest like it has done in the past when I have bronchitis. I went to the doctor, who diagnosed ‘acute bronchitis’, and gave me a prescription. As the days went on, my cough got worse and I got weaker. So I started doing T’ai Chi twice, sometimes three times a day for about 15 minutes each time. I was still coughing a lot but felt much better. I had so much more energy. During the exercises, I could feel energy in my hands, especially when doing the ‘Bass Drum’. I felt very calm and centered, and most of all, not afraid. Sometimes when I get sick, which has been quite a while . . . 3 years . . ., my mind runs away with negative thoughts such as, ‘Am I going to be this way forever?’, ‘Is it ever going to end?’, ‘Why me?’. The exercises helped eliminate focusing on myself. I began not caring whether I was sick or not. At night when I went to bed, I had difficulty breathing, so I slept with pillows propped up. Before I went to sleep I visualized the exercises, which again calmed my mind.” Sharon
“No more continual body pain or sore, stiff muscles—especially arms, shoulders, and back. Neck pain greatly reduced. More energy long term. Less sleep required. More alert at the office. Lost 4.75 pounds in only 4.5 weeks. Can wear slacks again after two years of not wearing them.” Nancy
“Outstanding—enlightening—stress reliever. Program should be longer because so much can be gained through the use of this program. Kaiser should promote this T’ai Chi class through their medical staff.” Anonymous
“T’ai Chi—Enhanced Chih Style has changed my life from physical imbalanced to being able to walk with certainty. It has also given balance to my psychological and emotional. I feel like a whole new person. Thank you for introducing it into my life.” Rachel
“T’ai Chi Chih has improved my posture, made my legs more steady, and given me a great deal of energy in regulating my life in a more orderly fashion!” Louise
“Calming. Better balance. When I do T’ai Chi in my house it produces a tranquil atmosphere. Being open minded to T’ai Chi and having good results made me more open to new experiences.” Anonymous Senior
“T’ai Chi Chih has physically improved the flexibility in my upper back and knees and improved my balance. I also like the feeling of serenity after the classes.” Jean
“Thank you so much for introducing me to T’ai Chi Chih. I’ve really enjoyed the classes and I find my upper body movements so much more graceful as one result of the exercises. Another result is a certain ‘lightness’ to my step and an improved posture.” Marcia
“When I am practicing T’ai Chi Chih movements, I feel connected to the flow of energy that surrounds me. Through this feeling of connection my balance is improved. My stance has a solidarity and my walking is surer.
At times I may feel tired. Doing several of the T’ai Chi movements, particularly ‘pulling taffey’, creates the flow of additional energy.
Remembering the movements and how to connect them is good memory training—another benefit that comes with practice.
A sense of harmony within and without flows through me after a session of T’ai Chi.
There are few exercise programs that have no age limit. T’ai Chi is one that I know I can continue to enjoy throughout my life.” Carol
