Ben has been MIA in the Postal Mail

February 10, 2018 Ben is gathering Chi for
The 2018 T'aiChi Chih Teacher Conference!


Ironic that the man who began as the first Postmaster General got lost in the mail!!!

When I practice Light at the Top of the Head I often consider those wrist circles up there as cleaning the inside and outside of a window. I let go of all the fog and can see clearly the road my life is on at this time in the journey.

Then when I reach the wrist circles for Light at the Temple, I clear the tangle of my plans and expectations that I have about where I am headed and how far along I should be right now.

Each pause in the stillness reminds me to just be... be okay with exactly where I am right here present with today.

Empty of Expectations for Tomorrow
Empty of Wishing Things Different Yesterday

I am fully present
Just being here now

Thank you for sharing the breath of life with me in this moment.

We are welling up with bubbling springs of JOY to see each of you at the 2018 T'ai Chi Chih Teacher Conference in Philidelphia this summer!

Are you registering to attend Seijaku too?

Chi-FULLY in Emptiness,
Ben Franklin

Betsy visits Wendy Statuto in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ

December 8, 2017 Betsy is gathering Chi for The 2018 T'aiChi Chih Teacher Conference! Greetings from Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ. Ho-Ho-Kus Seven letters all in a row, Three are in caps, and four are low. Add two hyphens, they must be there Or our Ho-Ho-Kus would not be rare. Rare indeed, is this little town in northern New Jersey, home of Wendy Statuto, a fellow TCC teacher. The land was first inhabited by the Lenni Lenape Indians, whose name means “original people.”  It wasn’t until 1662 when the first white man came to own property.  Legend has it that the indians offered their friendship to these first settlers inviting them to live with them and helping them build their dwellings.  After hundreds of years, I could feel the Chi that was generated from this town’s very beginning. But arriving here was not without a little excitement, as I found myself surrounded by two collies and a little pup (Mark and Wendy’s new little rescue, Finley).  I thought I might be in trouble

The Tale of Ben and Betsy

The Tale of Ben and Betsy November 27, 2018 I’m sure that you are well versed in the history of this great nation of ours. What you may not know is this... Benjamin Franklin and Betsy Ross were close friends.  They had both traveled abroad in their youth and been introduced to a powerful and health-promoting practice called “T’ai Chi Chih”. As you can imagine, the founding fathers of our country had many long, bori ng meetings. During a break in one of these meetings, Ben went outside to boost his energy with a few rounds of Joyous Breath. At the same time, Betsy was taking a break from her hard work as a seamstress and was delighted to see someone else practicing the familiar movements. From that day on, Ben and Betsy traveled all over to experience the energy they felt when they practiced TCC. In fact, the term B&B developed from the initials of these companions rooming with friends on their travels and only later came to be known as Bed & Breakfasts. Here
