The Essence of Openness is Heart

John Kells.jpg

These are profoundly important words from one of my own teachers. And someone who REALLY understands and doesn’t just talk about it!




“The essence of destiny is yielding.

The essence of yielding is softness.

The essence of softness is entering.

The essence of entering is welcoming openness.

The essence of openness is heart.”

–John Kells (Irish-born British Grand Master of T’ai Chi Ch’uan, 1940-)
