Many blessings.

Sometimes things don't go our way... There are ups and there are downs... But if we keep things in perspective... What goes around, comes around. Today is Thanksgiving in the U.S., but we can all be thankful any time of year. Even bad days can have silver linings. Does the rest of the world have a similar holiday? What are you thankful for today? Happy Thanksgiving.🙏

This simple practice is called "Cloud Hands" or "Waving Hands Like (or through) Clouds". It teaches you how to connect and move your body as one whole unit. What does the name make you think of? Visualize? Imagine? The names give us clues as to the intention behind the movement and the feeling we're looking for. Share in the comments your interpretation. You are most likely on the right track.🙏

I had just added a short course to the classroom to give a little guidance for those wondering where to begin... And then... The power went out! It was only out for a minute or two, BUT... The outage apparently killed my modem! So I took a little time to work on some offline projects. And took some extra Tai Chi time for myself. (Gotta practice what I preach!) Life will sometimes throw things at you, but you just gotta ride the wave. No point in getting all bent out of shape over things that are out of your control.

Here are a couple of simple opening movements to play with. The first is often called "Opening the Door". Maybe it's a garage door? As you sink your weight down, the hands float up. As you rise up, the hands drop. The second is called "Holding the Ball" or "Embracing the Moon". Think of holding a yoga ball or beach ball. There is a roundness to the position and the ball is three dimensional. If you were holding the moon, it would be heavy and you would sink from the weight. ENJOY.🙏
