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)

So much to learn. But I’m letting myself not know what I don’t know yet!

Tuning in from Eureka California. Brand new to Qigong and Tai Chi. Am 80 years old and in good shape, want to preserve and improve my flexibility, balance and strength. Finished first two classes of seven, looking forward to tomorrow. Suggestions welcome.

Day 4 didn't go to plan whatsoever. My husband needed surgery that evolved into a much more complex situation. So unfortunately, my lesson and day 4 was missed. However, I found myself often focusing on breath, on SONG, to relax, and let go. These tools gave aid a very difficult and stressful day. Day 5 may be difficult as well as tomorrow requires another early return to the hospital. But one day, one breath, one challenge at a time.

@Kirby Mannon is so ahead of the game. I'm seeing Tai Chi walking everywhere. YouTube, Reddit, Facebook groups. The thing is, Rooted Alchemy is where I really became aware of it. Sure, I'd heard about it, and it was never a big deal. For me, it was a "so what" practice. How wrong I was. Sometimes, its really nice to be wrong. Thank you Sonny.
