  • This is the Best Tai Chi For Beginners,10 Minute Easy Workout video. Filmed on a rainy spring day in the Portland (my home town) Rose Garden, the routine begins with a beautiful poem by The Pedestrian. Here it is in full:
    Sometimes
    things just
    have to get worse
    before they can
    get any better
    Sometimes
    the sky just
    has to fall
    before your life
    can change at all
    But I'll always
    be your friend
    Though you never know
    you never know
    the story's end
    So let's just
    turn one page
    at a time,
    look at the pictures
    and listen to
    the gentle rain
    Sometimes
    it's hard
    to understand
    why things
    rarely go
    the way they're planned
    But that's no reason
    to give in
    sometimes you lose
    sometimes you win
    But I'll always
    be your friend
    Though you never know
    you never know
    the story's end
    So let's just
    turn one page
    at a time,
    look at the pictures
    and listen to
    the gentle rain...
    it touches everyone
    It can make you cry
    and then it's gone
    So let's just
    turn one page
    at a time,
    look at the pictures
    and listen to
    the gentle rain
    Listen to the gentle rain

    It is raining outside in my country too. I'd better start doing some tai chi

      Seriously - outside in the rain (or snow) is my very favorite way to practice!

      yeah..I saw you doing Tai Chi in the rain in one of your urban series videos. After that i could not wait for the rainy season to come

    So beautiful! Yes, I cried - and then I smiled at all the people in the background who 'stop to smell the roses' even in the rain. Thank you!

    Thanks Dave for including my favourite move, cloud hands. I almost want to do it again but don’t feel it’d be worth it, next time, if it’s raining hard like it was today, can we hear Ed Sheehan with ‘cannot stop the rain’ cause I not only believe it is a good song, but it was written precisely for times like these.

    Even though this is probably an older video, I love it. I started doing Tai Chi seriously only a few months ago, and this is so calming. Needed in these stressful times I use it as my warm up video before I do a couple more, like "10 Tai Chi Moves For Beginners". Love the Middle Eastern type music on that. And then "10 Minutes for Tai Chi For A Better Mood". This was also done on the beach. I am from Barbados in the Caribbean. I relate to beautiful tropical beaches like what we have. Keep it up. I subscribed to the channel so I follow the various videos.

    You made magic happen in my ❤️ &💭🤔.
    Loved the poem, it spoke to my heart.
    The roses, the rain 🌧 with the soothing music and flow...heaven on earth.

  • @jegankandiah5877
    @jegankandiah5877 Před 4 měsíci

    Thanks again Dave, the music was 👏 awesome

  • @dnader01

    This video keeps finding its way back to me. ❤️ I listen to rain. I stand in the rain. The rain falls onto my head-it slips through my fingers and skims the surface of my body. The rain feels like an emotional cleansing of all the thoughts and feelings my heart does not express.
    Your words-your lessons-your kindness, like the gentle rain slowly seep into my heart and feed my spirit. The rain whispers- soften, open just a tiny crack in your surface so I can get in, just be still and listen, stay with me, connect to me, I will help you, you are safe, trust me, you are full of potential, let go.
    Too much noise in my head...too much to even know how or where to begin.
    So, I will just sit with you. You, my friend and teacher, can turn the pages. One page at a time. And I will listen to the rain.

    Beautiful background! Beautiful routine! On another note, beautiful tribute to Anthony yesterday. The loss was devastating to us as well. Keep on the path you have started. The two of you would have been a wonderful collaboration.

    Hello david dr, I want to do my tai chi as good as you do. I look every day to your video and I practice every day too in my small garden in which is the lovely smell of Jasmine and a pink elderberry tree. Very inspiring!!!!
    thank you a million times!

    @katecosettevocals Před 4 lety

    So I chose a new video of yours because something was bothering me, and not a moment after I began doing this, I forgot what was bothering me and still can’t remember what it was! This was absolutely beautiful and ceased my thoughts so quickly. The music was perfect and the rain was beautiful. Please make more meditation Taichi videos, I absolutely loved this so much I did it twice in a row. Thank you ❤️

    Thanks David, I try your tai chi on most days when I’m at home. I used to be a serious gym user, like 3/4 times a week+ the odd spin class about every 2 weeks. I don’t need them now I think

    I saw an old video of yours talking about yoga. Do you still practice, and if so ,How do you incorporate it with your tai chi practice?

    Si loved the poem about the rain. What is the name of the poem please and its author. Thank you

    • @DavidDorianRoss
      @DavidDorianRoss  Před 5 lety

      I think it's called "Listen to the Gentle Rain" - I found the poem on an obscure poetry website. The author's name was listed as The Pedestrian. Glad you liked it - I thought it was a really lovely poem as well.

    • @roslynmclaughlin6609
      @roslynmclaughlin6609 Před 5 lety

      David-Dorian Ross thank you so much. Ive only recently found you and your site and Im really enjoying your videos. Ive only managed to find one lesson on qigong though, do you have a link to more on qigong. Thanks DDR
