Rasaji's Book
"It is my pleasure to encourage you to read Rasaji's Circle of Chi.
Please do so with great care and careful attention. Its
conversational tone reflects the humble Tennessee roots of its
author, but don't let the simple language cloud the depth of your
perception. Rasaji both lived and trained with the master in direct
descent from an unbroken lineage that extends back in time more than
3000 years. He has applied the discipline in action for more than 40
years time.
The book may in some ways mirror the experience many people have
when they see Tai' Chi being done for the first time. They often
wonder, "How interesting, but how could simple flowing slow
movements ever possibly benefit one's health?" Or in this case,
"How could reading a sentence or two in this book profoundly alter
one's health for decades to come?" To answer these inquiries,
perhaps it is not too bold to pose a third question. "How could a
discipline of health continue uninterrupted through the centuries
for more than 3000 years if it did not contain health benefits of
significant merit worthy of investigation?"
Hwa-Wei Lee Project Evaluator, China-US Library Collaboration Project
Former Chief, Asian Division, Library of Congress (Retired)
Dean Emeritus, Ohio University Libraries
"Rasaji's Circle of Chi" book discusses the Chi itself
and the eight primary ways that Chi 'feeds' the human being.
It is
available in paperback or
e-book format. (108 pages.) Private clients have access to
this information as part of their training, and they are
shown how the Lamas of Tibet taught Rasaji to read books!
A student with adequate understanding of their own Chi, and
a humble knowledge of their connection to all of life, can
'tap into' the intelligence that guides the words and
harnesses the knowing and accelerates the understanding.

"Rasaji's Circle of Chi" book came into being
because private students requested an summary
to help them remember the concepts of Tai' Chi Gung that
Rasaji shared in their classes.
The Chi itself flows in, through and around the human being.
Their conscious awareness of it is critically important to
their health. Even so, there are also eight primary
ways that the Chi flows to someone in their every day life.
This is also important to understand and use wisely. The Chi
comes to them through their Mind, Breath, Movement and
Nutrition; something Rasaji calls Tai' Chi Gung 101.
And through their Work, Money, Friendships and Nature; Tai
Chi Gung 102. These subjects make up the 9 chapters of
the book. They have become an invaluable resource for
private and groups students alike.
Rasaji's Meditation Class will begin in August of 2011.
Only 21 students will be
able to participate.

Total Transformation
It's not just for monks anymore! and its not just for men anymore either!!!
Rasaji collapsed in a swimming pool
as a child. He had been suffering from undiagnosed kidney disease
for over a year. Uric acid poisoning had dissolved half his right
kidney and a third of his left. Four and a half hours of surgery
barely saved his life. He physically died on the operating table.
They brought him back. He physically died a second time in recovery.
They brought him back again. He was expected to die before his 18th
birthday. The doctor who predicted his early death has passed on.
His lovely wife Mida recently gave birth to Chen. Chen is Rasaji's
third child. Rasaji is in his 50s. He lived and trained with the
Lamas in Tibet at a school whose lineage goes back in an
unbroken line for more than 3000 years. He has been
training more than 42 years and teaching students Tai' Chi
Gung for more than 28 years.
Master Lama Rasaji is one of only 36 Lamas in the
world authorized by the Maha Master Lama Bo-Yang to share the
Tai' Chi Gung system. He is the only western born master
to be given this honor. Lama Rasaji is currently the only
Tai' Chi Gung master living in North America. His
countries of responsibility include the United States, Canada
and Mexico.
Now with 42 years of training and 28 years of giving instruction, I
have reached a certain level with the help of my master. He has
asked me to have a great impact on certain individual lives. He
asked me to help take them into the state of power and freedom
that has been shown to me.
I have been asked to work with ten to
twelve serious students for the next 25 years and devote 80 to 90%
of my work time to these core individuals that can have a major
impact on the direction of Spiritual transformation on our planet.

Private students that I have worked with over the
past 28 year often ask me about my bi-location experiences
because they discover that I show up in their dreams,
meditations and visions from time to time. My experiences like
this began when I was a very young child, still very sick. I
would go over to the window of my bedroom and open the curtains,
and my Asian friend Bo-Yang would be there. After a few months,
my Tai’ Chi Gung master would come into my bedroom and sit down
with me. He would communicate with my mind. I would know his
thoughts. He would know mine. He often put his hand over me and
send me the “Chi” through this technique he later called, 'Tao
Chi Gung'. He would say, “Rasaji, you have great things to do
and soon you will be strong again like before."
This went on from the time I was in Tennessee from about 3 until
10 years old. It was the beginning of what he would teach me. He
would say, "The spirit is eternal. And with the focus of your
mind and breath, you can do so many things Rasaji, even make
your body whole again." So my study began really over 50 years
ago. Wow. It seems like yesterday. I would smell the scent of
Jasmine and then the next thing I knew, Bo-Yang in his light
body, or spirit energy body would be balancing my chi and giving
me Tao Chi Gung or what is sometimes called Shaktipat.
What is Tai' Chi Gung?
Rasaji once asked his Master Bo-yang this very question
while
studying with him in Tibet.
He replied,
"Tai Chi Gung is the owner's manual
for the physical
body."
The physical body is a miracle. It is a miraculous
gift of God. But in truth, we're on the 'rent with
an option to buy' plan.
We must
learn to use it properly or we'll eventually lost it.
(Your PC media player must be unblocked to see
Rasaji do Tai' Chi Gung in the video on the right.)
A recent UCLA study indicates that Tai Chi participants
enjoyed a 50% increase in immune system resistance to viral
infection.*
Research at Baylor Medical School has found that some cells from the
bodies of long-term QiGong practitioners live five times longer than
the same cells from ordinary test subjects.*
If you could view yourself on a
molecular, atomic level, you would understand that around and
through your human vehicle is an energy that swirls and flows just
like it flows around and through the earth.
As you tap into this
energy and are guided by your spirit to move with this energy,
the movement that you are doing is called Tai' Chi.

Where does Tai' Chi Gung come from?
According to the Lamas of Tibet, 3300 years ago, a master of Hatha,
Pranayama and Kundalini Yoga living in India travelled to
China. This profound adept, known in India as the great sage
Boganathar, was determined to discover the true connection between
Nature and the physical body. After practicing his asanas for many
decades in China, he noticed that the flow from one stance to the
next was very important. If done properly, this movement could milk
the energy and prana of Nature into the physical body. He lived so
long that generations passed. His Indian roots were unknown. He became known in China as
Lao Tzu. From there, he moved on to the Himalayas where he opened his
first school of Tai' Chi Gung. Rasaji lived and trained with the
Lamas at this original school. The direct knowledge and
understanding of Lao Tzu, the secrets of this profound
system of health and regeneration have been passed down through the ages in an
unbroken lineage from the original master. These are the
principles of regeneration that Rasaji teaches to his students.
Rasaji is the only Western born person in North
and South America who has been authorized by his
Master Bo-Yang to teach the Tai' Chi Gung System.
"As a private student of Tai’ Chi Gung with
Rasaji, I can very enthusiastically endorse his Circle of Chi
system. Rasaji’s wide range of expertise and calming presence
provide a unique opportunity for growth for those interested in
expanding their state of awareness on multiple planes. The
one-on-one personal Tai’ Chi Gung training with Rasaji has
greatly affected my life on both a personal and professional
level. On a personal level, Rasaji’s Circle of Chi system of
Tai‘ Chi Gung has strengthened my awareness of the importance of
the breath and movement. This is demonstrated by the following:
• Greater strength and flexibility;
• Development of exercises to calm the mind;
• Increased consciousness of the use of the breathe to regulate
body tensions; and
• Expansion of focused attentiveness to daily activities.
For example, if there are times when stress arises, I remind
myself of several exercises, such as the crane exercise, which
can bring me back to the present moment. This exercise leaves me
feeling refreshed, unhurried, and better able to manage a
situation or issue which has arisen.
Before doing Tai´ Chi Gung my lower back often would “lock” in a
painful position, and now that has disappeared, and I can bend
further than ever before. Now I am able to even put my hands
flat on the floor! It has saved the costs of analgesics and
doctors’ visits that I was spending to manage the condition.
On a professional level, I found that Rasaji’s Circle of Chi
system is so profound that it is therapeutic. As a licensed
psychotherapist, I often think of how the exercises invoke
comparable feelings of good will and positivism that are
similarly obtained from psychotherapeutic work. For example,
with “push hands advancing forward” there is a sensation of
calming movement that slows the mind and yet leaves it focused.
Many a time, I have thought of clients who could find value in
the system, such as:
• Depressive diagnoses;
• Children with hyperactivity;
• Anxiety disorders; and
• Co-occurring conditions.
The mental health profession would greatly benefit from
educating themselves on the Tai’ Chi Gung system as an integral
part of a multi-disciplinary treatment plan. As a mind-body
medicine option, Rasaji’s Tai’ Chi Gung Circle of Chi system
offers immediate outcomes and life-changing opportunities." Dr.
Gigi Alexander PhD. Licensed psychotherapist
Over 30% of pastors and therapists have been clinically
diagnosed with depression. More than 50% of the CEOs of S&P
Companies are on anti-depression medication.
Research published in the American Journal of Chinese Medicine
demonstrated that white blood cell and lymphocyte counts, both
of which are vital to immune function and compromised during
chronic stress, increased significantly in people directly
following a bout of Qigong exercise.
And investigators at Harvard have reported that cancer patients
in various stages of treatment who participated in Qigong
experienced improved physical and mental functioning; a better
ability to deal with pain and fatigue; and increased quality in
their personal relationships along with better sense of control
of their disease.
In a research collaboration between Australian and Korean
scientists, when a group of older adults with osteoarthritis
participated in Tai Chi exercise for 12 weeks, they experienced
35% less pain, 29% less stiffness, and 29% greater improvement
in their ability to perform daily tasks than the group of non
Tai Chi subjects. Their balance and abdominal strength also
improved significantly compared to the control group.
In a study of overweight, sedentary individuals ages 60-80,
those who participated in Tai Chi lowered their systolic blood
pressure by 7 points, on average. An aerobic exercise group
lowered theirs by just a single point. The reduction in blood
pressure translates to a reduced risk for stroke and heart
attack. *
What can I expect to get from
a private session with Rasaji? What begins to happen when you work with
Rasaji privately is that your personal connection to the Chi is
enhanced rapidly. You learn how to do this on your own daily.
Your physical, spiritual and even financial health move to such
a high level of freedom that you literally move effortlessly on
the physical plane of existence.
So many people are wondering today where to invest their money
for the best rate of return. Should it be in the equity
markets?, in futures? in real estate? in currency?
Rasaji has experience in many of those fields of investment and
includes this counsel in the Circle of Chi. Still, take a
moment to pause and consider this.
What good is financial wealth, if you have lost your physical
health to get it?
One of best investments you can make for you and your loved ones
is to invest in your own health and balance. Become a student
of life and abundance from a teacher who has not only overcome
death by returning from it twice in this life time, but he has
overcome day to day depression... which you might be surprised
to learn is the true source of all physical illness.
Single private sessions for new students can be arranged by

The first time I had a personal bi-location experience was in
1968. It was a hot August day. I was being wheeled into the operating
room by this real nice African American man. I remember how kind he was.
He knew I was afraid. As they put the gas mask on my face and asked me
to count back from 10, I remember that I did not fall asleep. I remember
reaching out with what I thought were my arms, to let the doctor know
that the anesthesia had not worked. “I am not asleep! Please don’t cut
on me!!”
As I reached out for the surgeon, my arms went right through
him. The next thing I knew, I was floating on the ceiling looking down
at my body on the table. I smelled the scent of Jasmine, saw the room
almost look like it was filled with smoke and suddenly, I was no longer
afraid. I knew that my Master Bo-Yang was close by. It was truly
amazing. I no longer felt any pain. His smile was brilliant, filled with
light. His kindness to this day brings tears to his young student’s
eyes. He reached out his hand for the first time and took mine in his,
and I knew a freedom that was beyond description.
He took me to Tibet. We were there in what seemed like a few
seconds. Like we were the wind going at the speed of thought we were
traveling. It was truly amazing. The mountains were so large and covered
in snow. We landed down in the temple and I met masters that day that
one day I would meet again in the physical and study with. Over the next
few hours I was introduced to many beings. Over 12 of them. I was told
that each one would have an impact on my training and that when the time
was right, they would come into my life. First in spirit form and then
in physical form to teach and guide me.
It was so wonderful. I remember not wanting to go back to
my body. But after awhile, Bo-yang convinced me that it was in my body
that I could accomplish the most good for him, the masters he had
introduced me to and for the planet earth. Later, after the doctors had
lost the functions of my body a second time, and they finally brought me
back, they were amazed when I woke up. Over the next few days my mom
noticed huge changes in my personality. She would say, “Sweetie, there
is a light in your eyes that was not there before. Your face shines like
Moses coming down from the mountain after seeing God.” I was a boy then,
it was my mom. You tell the truth to your mom when you’re a boy. I said,
“Mom, I have seen Him! And his people with him. He has things for me to
do here… and I will not be sick again or be in the hospital!” She was
amazed at the authority coming from a sickly kid of barely 90 pounds…
getting strength from Tai’ Chi Gung!
"I had been looking for a Tai Chi class because I needed gentle
body work to help with movement and balance. I'll spare you the
list, but in the last 20 years I have qualified and trained in
many energy healing modalities... I can easily give it the
label of being the most powerful mode of energy work I have ever
experienced, and I have been telling everyone I know the same
thing."

Rasaji is the name given to him by his masters in Tibet.
Rasaji means God's Joy. It also means, son of Shiva (Shiva is the
destroyer of death).
In my later years as I began to get stronger, my dad enrolled me in
martial arts classes. All the way from Karate to Gung Fu to weapons
classes. I would come home to practice my techniques and in my dream
state and meditations, my Master Bo-Yang in his spirit or light body
would appear to me and clean up my technique. He would say, “Rasaji,
not that way, but this way." My movements would become more like the
‘fluency of motion’ and I began to feel the Chi or energy racing
through my body. I was now in my mid-teens and my practice was
becoming amazing. The appearance of all illness left me. I was
dating my first real girl friend at that time. One day she tells the
story that she picked me up, took me to the hospital to visit her
nephew. We talked with him and with her family there and then came
back.
The next night she was having dinner with my family. She
mentioned to my mother, “It was so nice for Rasaji to take the time
from his busy schedule to come with me to see my nephew. Just like
Rasaji to be that kind.” My mom said, “Really? Rasaji did not
mention it to me.” By now I’m turning red at the dinner table
smiling. My mom asked what time I was there with her. She said
around 5 p.m. My mom said that it was not possible because Rasaji
was practicing martial arts and meditation at that time in his room.
He never left the house. I even checked on him several times. Both
my girl friend and my family stared at me waiting for an
explanation. I just continued to sit there, smile and eat. I knew
what happened. To use the words of the Christian scriptures, and
also other religious books: when you are born of the Spirit, you
will begin to move as the Spirit moves.
Rasaji only accepts twelve
private
students at any one time.
He does this at the request of his teacher, because of the recent
profound acceleration of his own personal practice,
and because he understands from 28 years of teaching that it takes a
deep commitment of energy,
focus and vitality to help students grow into the limitless,
fearless, abundant, prosperous,
completely free and fully realized human beings they were sent here
to become.
Will I even be
considered to study
Tai' Chi Gung with Rasaji privately?
It is sometimes said that within the heart and soul of every
individual is unlimited potential. This is an absolute fact. How
fast a man or woman grows toward this potential, and what they
ultimately accomplish in their life depends on a lot of factors
though. It is often the things that they don't know about
consciously that stand in their way. Rasaji is willing and able to
help students identify and overcome them. When the intention of a
student is to do their best, and they show this by working
consistently over time, Rasaji is able to help them overcome both
their fear of death, but just as significant, their fear of
accepting a truly abundant life. It is sometimes said that
when the student is ready, the teacher appears. Only you can
determine if you are reading this because you were guided to do so
for a higher purpose.
What do we do in a
private session?
Private sessions are generally divided into three segments.
The sessions are typically 2-3 hours in length.
Private students meet with Rasaji two to four times a month. 1) Tai' Chi Gung Exercises
Lao Tzu's pursuit of the true relationship between Nature and the
physical body in China revealed to him that if a human being moved
and breathed in a certain way, they could tap into a level of energy
coming to them from Nature. In fact, the dis-comfort, dis-ease and
de-generation we call aging comes as a direct result of separating
from nature, separating from breathing the breath of life on a daily
basis and beginning to think and act as if we are separate from the energy
that sustains our body, mind and spirit. About 1/3 of the private
session is devoted to
learning how to re-connect with the Chi that
moves in, through and around the physical body.
2) The Circle of Chi
The Lamas of Tibet teach that there are 8 primary ways that the Chi
flows toward a human being to sustain it. These include something
Rasaji calls Tai' Chi Gung 101: MIND, BREATH, MOVEMENT and
NUTRITION; and Tai' Chi Gung 102: WORK, MONEY, FRIENDSHIPS and
NATURE. He devotes a chapter to each one in his book,
"Rasaji's Circle of Chi". Each individual person has strengths and weaknesses in
these areas. They all interconnect and must be addressed on a case
by case basis. In general, the student must first learn to
strengthen their connection to the Chi through Tai' Chi Gung 101 in
order to make lasting positive change in Tai' Chi Gung 102. Part of
the private session begins this process and monitors its evolution
as the student increases the vitality in every aspect of their
personal and professional life. The second 1/3 of the private
sessions are devoted to the Circle of Chi.
3) Tao Chi Gung Energy
The more advanced a master is, the
better they are able to help a student advance their training. In
the physical presence of a Tai' Chi Gung Master, the student's own
personal energy is raised. It can also be done deliberately for a
specific purpose. The final 1/3 of the private class is often
reserved for this purpose. This is part of Tao Chi Gung. Rasaji is
guided in each class to raise the vibration of private
students. This is done to allow the student to cut through
the clutter, withdraw enough from the world to connect to their own
spirit self, to truly discover what they were sent here to
accomplish, and then develop a practical plan and the financial
means to go back into the world and accomplish a greater good for
everyone. This is the deeper specific intent of what Rasaji
mentioned his master asked him to do.
After training for several years with different
dance instructors and martial arts instructors, I landed a role
in my first professional musical, “Fiddler on the Roof”. It gave
me a chance to work with some great artists like Leon Spellman
who was Lazar Wolf on Broadway and who had the under study role
behind Zero Mostel when he was playing Tevya. Landing that show
took me to New York City where I spent time doing cattle calls
for roles in musicals from “Guys and Dolls” to “Sound of Music”.
In between dance class over the Ed Sullivan Theatre on 52nd
street, one of my buddies said, “Let’s go to China town to study
with this Gung Fu Master who is visiting from Hong
Kong1" He was always trying to get me to go see
these masters. One day, we decided to go visit a Tai’ Chi Gung
master who was said to be a monk from Tibet. Not Buddhist, more
Taoist in nature, but a Buddhist had sponsored him to come. I
was very curious, for now I had studied Tai’ Chi for a few year
and had done some
Qi gong exercises. “Who was this Lama from
Tibet?” I asked myself.
I walked up to him from behind, and was struck by the amount of
birds and squirrels that were around this master. He was sitting
down talking to about 30 different people in Washington Square
who were hanging on every word. My first impression was, “Of
course! He must have something physical for these animals for
them to be up on him and all around him like that. But to my
amazement, he had nothing. The animals were just drawn to him.
When he saw me, he stopped everything he was doing, walked up to
me, grabbed my arm, took my hand in his other hand, and said
firmly looking into my eyes, “Rasaji. What took so long for you
to get here?” I pulled back, stunned. No one had ever called me
that before. But I knew it was my real name, not my birth name.
I came back to begin training with this Tibetan master, sometimes
skipping my classes and auditions, not really knowing why. It
was about 6 months into this training. One day in class I was
learning to master the first turn in our Tai’ Chi dance. When I
made the turn, I looked at my master and it was no longer New
York City, or Soho, or even Washington Square. It was the
mountains of Tibet. As God is my witness, I was back there, just
like I was in surgery almost 6 full years before. I was
training, I was working out. The whole atmosphere was Tibet. The
smells, the tastes, the wind on my face. I was not American, I
was Tibetan. I was not a student, I was a master. I was
performing for my students the Dance of the Monkey King. When I
“woke up”, I was in Washington Square and everyone was around
me, standing over me.
Then students asked Bo-Yang what had happened. Bo-Yang said,
“Rasaji has seen his fate. He has recalled who he really was,
who he really is, and what he came to do.” I was messed up for
days.
I called home to Florida and my mom said, “You have a very
important call to make to your friend in St. Simon’s Island
Georgia.” When I talked to my friend Jimmy there, he said,
“Rasaji, the most amazing thing happened three days ago. I began
to smell Jasmine as I was walking the beaches in Crooked River
State Park. The next thing me and my three other friends saw was you
walking toward us. You came up and gave me a hug. You said it
was ok to take a picture of the two of us together. We took the
photo and in front of our eyes, you vanished. You were gone like
the wind.” He went on to explain, “We called
your mom and asked where you were. She said that you were
studying Tai’ Chi Gung in New York City. When we developed the
picture though, the miracle continued. You were in the photo.”
When Jimmy and I had finished talking about it, it took us
awhile to realize how beautiful this experience really was. It
touched over 50 people in New York, in Tibet and in Georgia, all
at the same time! A tri-location phenomenon had taken place.
Bo-Yang smiled and said, “God is Great! His ways are not man’s
ways. Rasaji is a very old soul that has agreed to suffer
illness in his youth, to help humanity return to claim who and
what they can truly become.
"Dear Friend, Throughout my life I have done a variety of
exercise and sports. When I was able to backpack I did a lot of
walking and went to the gym. At age 45 I was diagnosed with
Diabetes Type II. Over the past 10 years, things have only
gotten worse for me, adding high cholesterol, high triglycerides
and high blood pressure to my list of issues. 2 years ago I
was diagnosed with kidney cancer and as a result, had to have
part of my right kidney removed. Last year, and I think
partly due to the partial nephrectomy, I had a vernal hernia
repair surgery. So that's 2 surgeries in 2 years in the are of
my abdomen. As a result, I have gained weight, which merely
makes my conditions worsen. But I could hardly walk 3 blocks
without severe back pain and I knew I had to do something to get
my body moving....I'm 56 and feel like 86! When I saw the
advertisement about the Tai' Chi Gung classes it caught my eye.
I was no stranger to Eastern thought and methods, having studied
and practiced meditation in the '70s, having read a great deal
on several Eastern subjects...and my daughter had gone to an
ashram in India to study Yoga. So, with some prodding from my
beloved wife, I decided to attend the Tai' Chi Gung class. I
found there quite a few things I had not expected. First, the
was a quiet and subdued, yet welcoming atmosphere...you knew it
was OK to be there, but there was nobody in spandex with an
$8,000 smile pumping your hand, trying to get your address and
sell you something. Just a friendly nod here and there and the
class began. Secondly, there were people of all ages, races
and walks of life...male and female. Thirdly, and most
important to me, it was revealed to me that the Standard moves
of Tai' Chi Gung were meant to combat all the conditions I
suffer from! AND it's been working for thousands of years!
Nothing we did was overly strenuous, I didn't pop or
strain anything. But afterwards, my body felt different,
better...as did my mind because I discerned quickly, and was
instructed thus, that meditation was the backdrop of all the
movements. My body and my mind were free of stress and I felt
more at peace. Since then, I have attended class every week I
could, and I try to do Tai' Chi Gung at home during the week. I
like to go by the willow tree by the lake (ok, retention pond)
behind my house and am amazed at the difference doing Tai' Chi
Gung outdoors makes. I'm sure the neighbors think I'm nuts, but
I dont' mind...I have this aging-too-fast body to work on! I
have also learned some of the history behind Tai' Chi Gung and
have found it to be most interesting and of benefit to me when I
perform the exercises. I highly recommend everyone give Tai'
Chi Gung a try....you have nothing to lose but lethargy, stress,
toxins, etc, etc, etc." S.Chattin Fleming Island, FL

"I was dreaming last night and became aware that I
was practicing Tai' chi Gung in the woods and I thought, 'Wow, this
is so beautiful. Its amazing how well I am doing and the Chi I'm
feeling is truly amazing. I began to smile and the chi filled my
body, and it into light. I was floating, and could here angels
singing in the background! Next thing i noticed, in front of me
was a Master. Wow the light coming out of his body was brighter than
the Sun! He was doing our Tai' chi gung form or dance. As he made
his turn, I could see it was Master Rasaji. I was so happy and felt
so much Love coming from him. I became so light, like I could dance
on clouds. Then I became fully aware that I was dreaming and what
seems like an hour we practiced. He said to me, Claudia, I'm so
proud of your progress, you are becoming a great student! I awoke
from the dream beaming. How is it that this Master can enter my
dream like this? Who really is Master Rasaji? I went outside
later, began looking into the woods, the sun was rising. I could see
the light coming through the trees. I thought, "I wish I was not
living in Washington state and could be with my Master in the
physical. That was my wish. Then right in front of me, my dream
became real. There was Master Rasaji again, just like in my dreams,
doing the Tai' chi gung, not touching the ground, smiling at me. I
could not move. As if the earth was a magnet sucking me down with
bliss. My body felt pulled, at the same time I felt light as a
feather, no pain or discomfort. Master Rasaji smiled that big
smile of his and then like a star bursting into the sky he was gone!
The feeling and his presence lasted all day,. I said to myself, God
bless you Master Rasaji, you are Truly one of God's angels, and I'm
so blessed to be one of your chosen private students. What is
amazing is that I texted him, he was cooking breakfast in
Jacksonville Beach for his lovely wife Mida the same time! I went
right away to his home page re-read the whole thing and said again,
who is this Master Rasaji? God, I do not know, but thank you for
sending him into my life. Claudia
