The Equestrian Tai Chi Podcast

This episode is about going back to times past at the time of year of the Earth Element, a short period between the end of the summer and the beginning of Autumn.

There is also an exercise for connecting with The Earth.

This episode is about the Fire Element which is predominant now in the Northern Hemisphere from the time of the Summer Solstice on the 21st of June.

I also mention the Tao Riding Program.

This episode is about why horses love Equestrian Tai Chi. 

It's a focus for them to really tune into energy and to follow it in their body as we practice and in our bodies too. Horses are really masters at reading energy. It's natural for them to connect through energy.

This episode is about taking a little time to address habits that are not helpful to us, that we wish we could be free of.

This Episode is about when we have to do something in a certain timeframe and we don't have enough time.

We look at three things to consider in relation to this and how we can use another type of time to help us, when we are under pressure for time!

According to Taoist cosmology, Wu Ji is the undifferentiated source of everything. Although Wu Ji is the source of everything, it has no desire to create and for this a creative energy is needed, and this creative energy is Tai Ji. Tai Ji can give birth to, or generate any set of complimentary opposites, both physical and abstract. This episode is about looking at the opposites of Hope and Fear in relation to something you want to do. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful in some way.

A fundamental part of Taoism is the interplay between complimentary opposites, night and day, dark and light, big and small and so on.

This Episode is about making things that seem big for us smaller, and highlighting the small things that are stopping us from doing them, so they become bigger.

This Episode is about creating new things or adding to existing things at the time of year when Yin energy is at its strongest.

In the deep dark quiet of winter, if we spend time thinking about things that we want, they can be nurtured in the quiet stillness that surrounds us and is in us around the time of the Winter Solstice.
