Stress-free world

Tai Chi involves simple movements with controlled breathing and thought. Therein comes a peace of the entire self. John Starman has been teaching Tai Chi to Springfieldians for decades, invoking joy and a stress buster like no other. Watch John and others demonstrate this ancient art form of healing. Join people from 56 other nations around the world at 10 a.m. in every time zone as people unite in prayer and practice. For more information visit www.worldtaichiday.org.
