Special Offer Included!
Greetings everyone! I hope you all had an excellent week. Here at TTO, we had the most incredible seven days. I have some exciting updates to share, but first, a few thoughts. Make sure you read all the way to the bottom for a special offer from Patrick!
3 Thoughts From Taoist Teacher George Thompson
I’ve studied under George a number of times over the years, and I wanted to pass on a few of his thoughts this week. It’s important that as we feel emotions, both creative and destructive, we allow them to pass through us. Keeping emotions inside causes severe stress, anxiety, and a ton of health problems. Here are 3 thoughts, 2 quotes, and 1 question to explore this week
I. Can you celebrate you moving your body today? No matter your head space, fitness or stiffness.
II. Why not put some music on and try dancing.
If you are tired, bored, stiff, sad or happy, all of it is welcome. Try expressing these feelings in your movement. See what moving your body can teach you about where you are today and perhaps the path back to balance.
III. Move the body, move the feeling.
