Practice 08: Capacitar Tai Chi

Capacitar is a collection of movement, breathing and acupressure practices that aim to reconnect people with their own wisdom and capacity. It is designed to help people heal from trauma and to find the courage to challenge oppressive systems and come together in a spirit of empowerment. Capacitar Tai Chi simplifies some of the most basic movements from traditional Tai Chi and shares them through popular education to make them accessible and memorable. I want to acknowledge all the traditions and teachers that have contributed to the development of Capacitar. May these practices continue to help those who have become disconnected to their bodies and breath to reconnect to the wisdom and medicine in the land and culture from which they come from. This episode is about 1 hour and you will need loose clothing and enough space to move your arms around in all directions. You may want to light a candle or set an intention at your altar before you begin. Enjoy!
