Holding Together Body and Soul

Since I’m just coming off one of those inexplicable Summer Colds I thought I’d quote one of my new favorite spiritual leaders on the subject of a weak body and soul. When the body is strong and vital, it seems the presence of the soul can be more easily felt. When the body is weakened, it feels as if the soul is out to lunch.

Over the years I’ve found, and witnessed through others, that tai chi practice gives us more energy than it takes. When tired at the beginning of practice, I find I have quite a bit more energy at the end of class. Other forms of exercise can do this as well; it seems though that the effects of tai chi are more far reaching, health wise.

There’s a fair amount of information around my tai-blog and my main site, CampTaiChi.com, if you’d like to take a look around. If you have an anecdote of your own you’d like to share, please leave a comment at the end of this post.

In the meantime I’ll leave you with today’s quote from my favorite new spiritual leader.

“When the body ails, the soul is weakened. When the soul is weak, you get disco.”
