Last Saturday a man by the name of Larry Lee from Tennessee payed my family a visit.
Larry is a long time friend of my teacher at the College for Creative Studies.
He is a Tai Chi (tie-chee) instructor with a heart made of gold. Both him and my teacher, Greg, came over to meet my mom and see what Tai Chi could do to help her.
For those of you who do not know what Tai Chi is,
let me break it down nice and easy....
Tai Chi originated in China and stems from Martial Arts. Many who practiced Martial Arts found that there where many meditative qualities to it,
thus Tai Chi was born. it involves a lot of deep breathing and focus. Doing simple motions (mostly in some form of a circle) can help with mind and body balance.
This form of healing and meditation thrives off of the earth and life's energy.
Larry uses pressure points on the body to draw out bad or constricted energy. When he did this to my mom she felt relieved and not as tense.
He would place this pointer finger over his middle finger (on the same hand) and move it in circles on a pressure point. While he did that he would chant:
Chu...
Shu...
Gee...
Her...
Shh...
Those sounds trigger the energy and relax the mind. After he said all five sounds which represent wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, he would pull the pain/bad energy out with his finger tips. It was incredible.
Larry taught us how to channel our inner chi (energy) and use it in a productive yet relaxing way. Tai Chi gave my family a lot of hope with my mom's disease. This method of meditation can make her life easier, help build muscle tone, and give her some piece of mind and relaxation. My dad and I even gave it a try!
When the mind and body are relaxed and you experience less stress the body is able to produce more healthy cells and repair damaged ones.
That is a key element to living with MS and not letting it get you down.
Another aspect of Tai Chi is the stone, Jade. This precious stone helps channel energy from human to human. I saw it work on my mother and it was unreal.
Before Larry left back to Tennessee he took a jade necklace right off his neck and said, "I want you to have this, wear it all the time and practice with your mother."
I was so humbled I couldn't believe it. This man's passion is healing people and he will go great distances to help. We need more Larrys in this world.
I can't thank you enough for the hope you have given us.
From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate everything you have done.
Big thanks to Larry and Greg.
