Practising Tai chi helps me to lessen the effects of my RA and OA. I am about to win my Black Sash and I also teach it to a small group. Carry on Practising Tai chi I was ill for 50 years and found the cause. Now being in pain is no fun yet with Tai chi I am far happier than I was. Confident and have an ability to help myself to overcome the problems of chronic disease. The forms are adapted so I can do them. I teach Tai chi to ablebodied and disabled poeple and love it when I see them managing their lives better. I teach a small group and the laughter and happiness is wonderful medicine. At 69 my furture is to keep as healthy as I can. I cannot cook dress myself or carry out many simple tasks yet in the Tai chi dojo I can feel empowered. To be able to carry the torch even using my walker [called Gardinia] I would feel more empowered and fulll of esteem
