Writing and Taiji for Balance

Writing and Taiji for Balance merges two uniquely effective methods for quieting the mind, connecting with the environment, and inviting valuable mental, emotional, physical and spiritual insights. Writing topics will engage the senses with the remarkable surroundings of Ghost Ranch, while basic principles of the ancient martial art of taiji will open new ways to connect with our internal environment.

The study of taiji can fill a lifetime, but there are many valuable principles and techniques that can be taught quickly and put to use immediately.  Easy movement, small adjustments in stance and posture, mental focus, breath control and learning to circulate energy through the body can relieve anxiety, provide effective anger and mood management, and develop balance and clarity.

Thought provoking writing prompts can clarify our inner world, and interspersed with simple taiji exercises, the combination can result in a genuine awakening to the benefits of focusing on self-care, maintaining a balanced outlook, and continuing the practices of writing and movement.
