2012 WTCQ Day Gorleston Cliff Tops
When we start learning Tai Chi and Qigong, often our intention is single minded, stress management, health enhancement, etc., but as our practice evolves we realize that so much more awaits us on so many profound levels. So, it’s not surprising that the same thing occurred with World Tai Chi & Qigong Day on 28th April. There was something extraordinarily moving about seeing and feeling the entire world . . . breathe together . . . on this special day.
As most of our followers know the Tai Chi Qigong Centre have supported Guide Dogs for the Blind as our chosen charity for some years now, sponsoring puppies and taking part in fund raising raffles to help finance the training of these marvelous dogs.And once again at long last I have found time to post the latest pupdate news letter for ‘Misty’ who we currently sponsor:
When Misty first started training school she was partnered with a trainer called Sam. Sam worked on ensuring Misty settled into her new training environment well and concentrated on her basic obedience and social behavior training. This included Misty’s ability to travel, tasks such as ‘straight line’ and ‘’kerb work and many more. Once Misty had been with Sam for four weeks she then moved onto Mandy. “ Misty is a star!” says Mandy “She’s coped extremely well with all the different environments she’s been introduced to recently and has always adapted brilliantly to change”. Mandy went on to say “She has naturally bonded with all her handlers which is definitely a required trait for any successful guide dog.”

World Tai Chi Day Saturday 28th April was wet, windy and very cold but many TCQC members turned out to face the elements on Gorleston Cliffs. Although it was wet and windy everybody had a good laugh and fulfilled our promise to practice at 10am on this special day linking with many continents round the world. What filled Mitzi and I with pride was that so many turned up as the weather was so atrocious, that’s what I call dedication and commitment to the practice of Tai Chi and Qigong. Most Tai Chi players would prefer to practice in a warm cozy climate (wouldn’t we all). Well done to all who were present. We left the Cliff Tops with a very warm heart.
Introduction to World Tai Chi Qigong Day and World Healing Day:
World Healing Day events are being formed all over the planet, preparing for the worldwide wave of healing intent, to be held “the last Saturday of April,” 28th April 2012, 10 am worldwide.
WHY A WORLD HEALING DAY? Earth is changing faster than at any time in human history. The change is stressful and testing each of us to redefine who we are and how we view our place on the planet.
Imagine twenty-four hours of smooth flowing healing energy effortlessly moving round the world circling through continents worldwide. That’s what happens on the last Saturday of April every year. This year the Gorleston Tai Chi Qigong Centre in association with the Great Yarmouth Spirit Haven have twinned to celebrate this global event, now in it’s 15th year of the ‘World Tai Chi Qigong / Healing Day’
All are welcome to come along and join in this special day when Tai Chi, Qigong and Spirit Haven open their doors to celebrate this global event skipping through world time zones.
Many thanks to those who turned up for the Display Team meeting today. I think we all agreed it was a very good practice, ironing out and confirming the new routine, mainly clarifying the walk on, walk off and changing over during the weapons sections. As you know World Tai Chi Day is next Saturday on the Cliff tops, this day is always a good rehearsal for team bonding out in the open where most of the demos take place.
Lets hope the weather is fine next Saturday but to make sure dress warm even though demonstration shirts will be order of the day.
Well done everybody for turning out on a Sunday morning.
