Are you new to Tai Chi? Have you wanted or tried joining an established group, like the library's Advanced Tai Chi, but wanted more of an overview? Join Manchester local Susan Halpern, as she guides the group through the Bafa Wubu step by step. “Bafa Wubu - Eight Methods and Five Steps" ( 太极八法五步 ), was compiled by the National Sports Administration, from the Peoples Republic of China. Bafa Wubu is based on the “core commonalities of the five schools of Tai Chi” and functions as a “simple health practice” and/or an introduction to Tai Chi Forms.  Tai Chi is known to slow down the loss of muscle strength (especially in the lower extremities), as well as improving low extremity and joint control. All Tai Chi improves proprioception, vestibular functioning, and balance. As with most, if not all, Tai Chi Forms, including Bafa Wubu, can relieve chronic pain, provide clarity of mind, and improve relaxation, vitality, health, and quality of life.  Form employs a more upright stance with small arm movements and short steps. The forms demand attention and stimulate good balance, attention, and stress reduction.  This series is 6 months long and is not a drop in. Registration will open on April 2 and will close on April 30. Join for the whole series as instruction will build upon itself. The group may meet at the library or may meet at Masconomo Park depending on the weather. Please email [email protected] or call the library at 978-526-7711 if you have any questions or want to be on the list for the next Intro session. https://manchesterpl.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/intro-to-tai-chi-49/

Evening meditation happens weekly at 5PM on Wednesday. This event takes place in the meeting room at the First Parish Church Meeting Room, behind Santander Bank through the FPC office door and take a left. There is also a session at 11AM, every Wednesday as well. You are welcome to attend both or one or the other. Alida Bryant is a Dharma Leader and meditation instructor under the guidance of Anam Thubten Rinpoche. She has been meditating for over 30 years (still very much a beginner!) and studying and practicing with lineage holders in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Meditation, fundamentally, is about getting to know ourselves better. The mind is a powerful thing, and often leads us on a merry chase that does not always serve us. So we practice becoming familiar with it, coaxing it into the present moment, where it finds rest and ease… and then we do, too. We will learn that thoughts are not a problem in meditation – they are very much a part of our experience, but usually we don’t notice them. We’ll explore the meaning of the saying “You don’t have to believe everything you think!” (I have the bumper sticker to prove it!) Beginners and experienced meditators are welcome. There will be guided meditation, some silence, and discussion.  Please register if this is your first time coming to this mindfulness meditation program. We need either an email or a phone number in case we need to cancel or change venues last minute. Your contact info will be shared with the program facilitator who will only contact you about info pertaining to this library program. Please email [email protected] if you would like at any time to be removed from the contact list. https://manchesterpl.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/mindfulness-meditation-evening-session-76/
