SC Musings for Nitya Gurukula

Essence of ITCC 2024

September 27, 2024

Dear Readers, Welcome to SC Musings, Blog 20,

A Blog that’s different, because we, Team NG are recovering from the immersion in the International Taichi Conference ITCC 2024.

Six days with Dr. Paul Lam was an awesome experience for us the organisers, the Master Trainers from the Taichi for Health Institute, the participants, and also for our service staff. Our guests who came in for a day or two were intrigued and overwhelmed.

Therefore, I decided to present in Blog 20 the essence of:
International Taichi Conference - ITCC 2024 with Dr. Paul Lam

You landed in India-

Yielded, Absorbed, Delivered & Harmonized

Leaving behind an emptiness- a loss

Because you flew in and out all too soon.

Along with a determination to nurture and grow

The Taichi seed- you so lovingly planted,

We will carry forward this precious legacy

Spreading Holistic Wellness.

You landed in India-

Your presence brightening up the landscape

With compassion, simplicity,

Connectivity, wisdom & more.

Individuals clamored for more & more of you

Along with a determination to nurture and grow

As you tirelessly delivered more and

Some more, reaching out effortlessly for

Spreading Holistic Wellness.

You in India-

Nurtured the flame of Taichi in many a soul

Which clings to it with tenacity

Despite the odds, nurturing this precious gift of life.

The principles, the forms, the very essence

Is embedded in many of us, a fertile

Ground to root in and deliver

Holistic Wellness.

You in India-

Held neutral ground, blending cultures and

Harmonizing yin & yang, unifying

With Taichi, contradictions within & without.

Inclusiveness with values, with principles

Transcending borders, colours, status

A mindful presence, absolute for

Holistic Wellness.

You in India-

Embodying the very essence of life, fulfilling

Our dream to dig deeper into Taichi

Mastering its nuances for spreading it deep & wide.

Inspired and motivated in just 6 days

We are readying to deliver

This blessed art for

Holistic Wellness.

You in India-

Have taught us more than Taichi, sharing

Experience and expertise on how to teach Taichi,

Ably assisted by Master trainers, you have groomed.

Eking out the essence, simplifying to uplift

You are our real guru

Spreading light for

Holistic Wellness.

Dear Readers,
