You Teach You Learn

When I was doing group readings that were referred to as "Table Sessions"  a common theme would usually become apparent among the small group of attendees. I called this phenomena "Group Dynamics". Some of the themes were Forgiveness, Take care of your body, Breathe into less stress, Trust God's guidance.

Group Dynamics has also been referred to as a "Soul Circle". We have been brought together to assist each other in our spiritual growth. Master Sun De Yao, taught me something very important in my Tai Chi class in his limited English: " You teach. You learn".

One morning after class Grand Master Sun looked at me directly in the eyes and said " Now you teach". I had second thoughts about arguing with him and just simply said "Yes Sir." My confidence in teaching something that I had not even mastered was frightening.

So I gathered my "Table Session Group" and said we have to do a Chi Kung before and after each session to get rid of the negative energy we have picked up along the day. To my surprise everyone said "OK".  I learned so much about my Tai Chi and Chi Kung practice by teaching others and watching their struggles with the basic steps.

When I returned to my Tai Chi Kung class the following week Grand Master Sun watched my movements and smiled. " Ahh. You teaching."  I was shocked that he was able to immediately see an improvement in my practice and movements and knew why and how I had improved. That is why he is a Grand Master among other reasons.

Those of us in our group are knowledge workers. We carry a light from God with many spiritual gifts. The strongest gift is to help others by using our own life experiences. To learn more about ourselves by teaching.

1 Timothy 4:14-15
Do not neglect the gift that is in you (that special inward endowment)...

I inhale the essential oil of Rosemary breathing in the energy of clarity. To a teaspoon of fragrance-free lotion I add only 1 drop of the powerfully strong oil and massage it on my pulse points.

I affirm: " My mind is clear and I experience joy."

             " My relationship with The Holy Spirit is strong."
