Addiction Recovery using Tai Chi, Mastery & Cannolis

from The Sober Shaman

The latest surge in all-things-Chinese-health-related, gives me both hope and disappointment.Because I know that this medicine is exactly what's needed right now and the surge will introduce its wonders to many.And at the same time, I know that the appeal will quickly fade once people realize there's no hack, short-cut or quick-fix anywhere to be found.It's a path of skill, dedication and mastery.And it doesn't have to be mastery in Tai Chi or anything obviously health related. It could be...cannolis ; )See how & let me know your thoughts.Blessings!RandalTakeaways:The practice of Tai Chi serves as a profound method for cultivating self-discipline and mastery in one's life.Achieving mastery in any discipline requires unwavering dedication and the willingness to engage in repetitive practice over an extended period.The disparity between internal worth and external validation significantly contributes to the challenges encountered in the realm of addiction.Mastery enables individuals to establish meaningful connections with others through the sharing of acquired skills and knowledge.The journey of mastery is analogous to the adage of 'chop wood, carry water,' emphasizing the importance of consistent effort in all endeavors.In the pursuit of mastery, one learns that the process of continuous improvement is intrinsically valuable in itself.Chapters:00:00 - The Surge of Interest in Tai Chi01:01 - The Journey into Tai Chi05:07 - The Journey of Mastery07:01 - Exploring Internal vs External Validation11:23 - The Path to Mastery12:38 - Exploring Paths of Mastery
