Dear Reader,

We have two new articles in Cloud Hands: one about the effects of Tai Chi Chuan on pain, and the other about the Fredericton Academy.

We are always looking for new contributions to Cloud Hands. If you are interested in publishing an article, please contact David McKenzie at dhjmckenzie@gmail.com.

Have you been reading your Gold Book? Here is an excerpt about the Sixteen Essentials:

"Rotate at the feet. Move from the legs. Footprints from the knees. Enliven from the waist. Inform through the spine. Spirit connects through the crown. Send through the palms. Penetrate with the fingers. Internalize to the marrow. Solidify through the ears. Breath through the nose. Inhale and exhale to the lungs. Breathing is regulated through the mouth. The Qi emanates outside your skin to the body hair. Flow with Qi. Attain with the spirit."
