“Grace sees the differences in the world as integrated parts of one wholeness.”
- Deepak Chopra
People often struggle to find the right words when defining what grace means to them. Grace typically evokes a feeling response as opposed to a thinking response, and even if it can’t be described adequately, we all know how grace feels.
Shortly after beginning qigong I felt more energetic, motivated, focused, and happy, and my anxiety related symptoms virtually disappeared. But there was something else I felt, something intangible that can only be described as a sense of grace. It was this feeling that compelled me to practice grace in my teachings of qigong and to inspire my students to do the same.
“Practicing grace” is a way of being. It means moving through all the trials of life guided by an inner compass that points to acceptance and kindness…for self and for others.
In my classes and private sessions, I strive to create a warm and compassionate space for students to access their own healing power. I encourage students to be humble and gentle with themselves as they explore qigong and find practical ways to integrate it into their busy lives.
“There is no step-by-step guide to attaining grace, there is only an opening of the soul. Open the door. Step in.”
- Oprah Winfrey (with Deepak Chopra)
