Smile, Breathe and Go Slowly*

Here are some photos during the World Tai Chi and Qigong Day 2011 Philippines. Thanks to Peace Blossoms Internal Arts Society and all the participants! It is an honor for Gentle Universe to be part of the celebration.

Antonio Delgado, President of Peace Blossoms, said “We are celebrating World Tai Chi and Qigong Day to express unity and radiate positive energy towards our environment; at Peace Blossoms, our focus is to radiate peace, love and harmony through the practice of tai chi.”

Group Shibashi at 10:00 in the morning, lead by Senior Citizens Group from Brookside Hills Subdivision, Cainta, Rizal. “At 10am on April 30, different countries from all over the world will be doing tai chi together, so because of the different time zones, the effect will be such that the whole world will be doing tai chi together for 24 straight hours,” Delgado, President of Peace Blossoms, explained.
