These past few months has been exciting, energising and lots of traveling for Christine and myself. We have been inspired by our time with students in Ireland and in Yorkshire. Thank you Frances Powell for organising the workshop at Bolton Abbey in October 2007. The grounds of the Bolton Abbey included this amazing river which you see in the photo below. So, well done to all these fantastic students of teacher trainees Frances, Heather, Linda and Pam. Thank you to all the participants -

What an amazing Summer School we had!! It will take more than a page of this Newsletter to thank all the people who came, more than 40 of Summer School Part One (plus 20 for the Summer School Part Two) of you added such magnificent and beautiful energies to the School. Each person who comes mirrors the best from the School. We also do our best to flow with the personal needs of each participant. And thank you for all your wonderful appreciations, we especially took note of how much healings, personal transformations, WATER LILLIES IN THE VALLEY, great food, the swimming pool, the open amphitheatre, the valley’s pond of peace and the new lovely ponds with the lilies, dragon flies and swallows all were loved and enjoyed. Thanks also for the honest feedback for improvements, particularly there will be quiet new hot showers for the campers next year and compost toilets will be back on the School campers’ ground!! The School accommodations are also being renovated this September, thanks to the selfless devotion of Stephen and Pam coming all the way from up Northern England to stay for a month to help with the re-decorations.

CONGRATULATIONS to Sophie Toye, Heather Cardwell, Michael Toye and Frances Powell for passing their examinations and graduating from the Foundation Tai Chi Teachers Training, August 2006.

A VERY SPECIAL WELCOME TO THE FOLLOWING STUDENTS BEING ACCEPTED ON THE LIGHT BEING INTENSIVE (FTT) OF 2007 -

Richard Wiltshire, Eileen Ansbro-Sharples, David Howard Simpson, Joanna Pomeroy, Pablo Toledo, Charlotta le Brocq, Alicja Bogucka Selvik, Lauren Selby, Edie Gardner, Mary Elizabeth Tinnyunt, Gunn-Berit Kleiveland, Stephen Marsden and Sharon Paulette Brown. A HEART WARMING WELCOME TO THE NEW LBI TWO 2007 STUDENTS—Samantha Salmons, Linda Schofield, Per Oden, Pam Marsden, Yvonne Smyth and Sharon Paulette Brown.

First of all, there are three different types of Chi Energy - the Earth Chi, the Human Chi and the Heavenly Chi. So, we all have experiences of any one or more of these chi energy at some point in our lives. Earth chi expresses through physical food, herbal medicine and the environment (including the house, the office, car, tv, furniture, clothes, shoes, bed, etc etc) to sustain us in a life of health and comfort. The best way to understand Earth Chi is the electrical force that lights up our homes. The Human Chi has been variously called Goose Bumps, Bio Electricity, Pins and Needles, and Intrinsic Energy. The Heavenly Chi has been experienced as - Waves of Loving Energy, Tingling and Calming sensation, Light and Warmth all over, a sense of Oneness with the Universal Force.

I believe everyone has it but WHY SOME PEOPLE GET IT AND OTHERS DON’T seem to have to do with the FACT THAT many people have not sufficiently slowed down their minds to feel it with their hearts and guts. So, the study of Chi Energy helps students to FOCUS ON IT. BY EXPERIENCING IT DIRECTLY AS AN INTEGRATED FORCE WE CALLED ZHINENG ON ALL LEVELS—EMOTIONALLY, PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY AND SPIRITUALLY, healing naturally takes place step by step.

Another reason is that people do not humble their minds and put all their hearts into the regular study and practice of the Tai Chi Chi Kung and Tai Chi Form exercises and principles. The mind does get bored with repetitive exercises. Now, even after practising for more than 35 years, I still find in my practice nowadays FRESH AND LIFE CHANGING INSIGHTS INTO CHI ENERGY AND MY WHOLE LIFE from the exercises. The exercises are timeless mirrors of where we are.

Governing meridian, the chi flows to energise the whole body. Re-educating the mind to UN-LEARN AND LET GO THE THINKER to allow the chi to flow easily through the whole body. A transparent mind begins then to record new experiences and a new sense of clarity and purpose of your life comes into your daily moments.

When you slow down sufficiently you discover PRICELESS INNER TREASURES and learn “How to Optimise your Health through the Microcosmic Orbiting (Tao of Love and Sex Workshop - October 2006)”; transform all your INNER AND OUTER DEBTS INTO CREDIT USING THE TAO OF HEALTH, MONEY AND PROSPERITY PRINCIPLES - March 2007) and begin on your journey to master the Power of Zhineng Chi Energy for self healing and helping the world to heal ( The Power of Zhineng Chi Healing - April 2007). The Rainbow Tai Chi School is a unique Heart, Body, Mind and Spirit System of Education pioneering subjects such as Aqua Tai Chi (June 2007). I HOPE TO MEET YOU IN ONE OR MORE OF THESE COURSES, MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE GOOD HEALTH AND HAPPINESS IN YOUR LIFE.
