Hey everyone, whether you’re starting fresh because you just arrived or you’re restarting like me to re-establish your practice, this is our spot. The 7-day challenge always feels more grounding when we move together, so this post will stay pinned for our daily check-ins. Let’s show up, keep it simple, and take it one day at a time. ✅ How to Check In Each Day After you finish your practice, follow these three steps: 1. State which day of the challenge you’re on. Example: Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, etc. 2. How you felt before and after. One short sentence for each. 3. Screenshot or photo: A quick picture of your screen, TV, or you practicing. Feel free to leave encouragement for others. A little support goes a long way. ✨ Sample Check-In 1. Day: 1 2. Before: Feeling tight 3. After: Calm and relaxed 4. (Photo attached)

We’re delighted to welcome those who have recently joined the Rooted Alchemy community! Spring is a time of renewal, gentle growth, and new energy — a beautiful moment to begin or deepen your Tai Chi and Qigong journey. Please feel free to introduce yourself🌱 ✨ For our existing members — "What helps you stay consistent in your practice during busy weeks when you’ve just started your Tai Chi and Qigong journey?" I think for me, letting go of my own expectations was very helpful emotionally. It allowed me to create a space where I don’t "need to" do anything, but I "get to" do something. Even during the busiest moments, I can find five or ten minutes... sometimes even just two minutes to do grounding circles. It helps me reset and feel centered in a very short amount of time🙏 @Ronda McMann @June Chisholm @Marty Landry @Thomas Fraser @Pam Stecki @Sonia Welch @Nancy Hobbie-Lowe @Victor Marshall @Jan Palmer@Julie Greer @Michele McLeod @Rebeca Borbely @Robert Collins @Roi Weinstein @Brad Carroll @Madelein Cudina @Jack Benson @Carol Gray @Sarah Blue
