skinny852 Posted July 18, 2016 Hello everyone, Recently started practicing Tai Chi (Yang style) but don't even know the whole set yet. Just beginning! I've also begun breathing techniques (Bruce Frantzis' CDs) and little qigong (eight brocades). These practices have been helpful with my physical health issues (fibromyalgia and IBS) and the consequential depression and mental issues than come from chronic health problems. These practices have also helped guide me to some sort of spiritual path, when I had given up in that area. My parents were missionaries but I gave up on religion (and spirituality) around my college years. Anyway, I'm just here checking things out. I've got no masters, not much money to pay a "master", and generally not much energy. But I do what I can. I persevere and I keep learning. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted July 18, 2016 Hello skinny852, and welcome. Your membership is approved and we're happy you found your way to us. We look forward to accompanying you on some of the way that you still have to go. Please take the time to read the two posts pinned at the top of this Welcome page and take a look at the forum terms and rules. This covers all you need to know when getting started. For the first week you will be restricted to ten posts per day but after that you can post as much as you like.

Good luck in your pursuits and best wishes to you, Marblehead and the TDB team Hi skinny, Yeah, life sucks when we are sick. Keep working at getting over that. I don't have a master or any slaves. You are welcome to jump right in ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forms to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started.
