 EPISODE24 - The Tai Chi Power Hour | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:07:55

We'll be gathering again tonight, Sunday, Feb 24 at 8 pm Eastern Standard Time for another round of Tai Chi talk. Please join us. As always, the subjects for discussion are open, and will depend on who shows up to participate, but here's a thought. The subject of Holding Postures has generated many comments recntly on the TCC Forum. But in addition to the physical posture, what goes on in one's mind seems even more important. Let's explore standing meditation. Another idea: have you listened to the previous episode of TCPH? It's a monologue I recorded while doing my morning rounds. Call it a Tai Chi experiment. In the two weeks since I posted it, there have been more than 3000 downloads. I'd be interested in any feed back.you can offer. Taking part is easier than ever. Simply telephone 1-724-444-7444 and select program #17095. There's no need to register, either in advance or at the time, and no cost to participate, other than any normal phone charges that may apply. You can also log in via computer, either with streaming audio or using a VOIP system. Please note that TalkShoe has introduced new software called ShoePhone that lets participants join in with just one click on their computer. No registration, no long distance phone charges, no hassles. If you'd like more information visit www.talkshoe.com.
