譚華參茸行舉辦第37期免費健康養生茶會以「清靜・釋躁」推廣太極養生 Tan Hua Inc. Hosts 37th Free Health and Wellness Tea Gathering

【AZ本地新聞】

譚華參茸行（Tan Hua Inc.）日前舉辦第37期免費健康養生茶會，東主Fanny向參加者推廣太極課程，並以「清靜・釋躁」為本次課程主題，分享「降伏紛亂，留白身心」的養生理念。當日亦為大家送上安神潤顏銀耳蓮子羹，將傳統養生飲食與太極修習相結合，讓參加者從日常飲食、身體活動及心境調整等方面認識養生之道。

本次太極課程引用《道德經》中的「重為輕根，靜為躁君」及「清靜為天下正」，帶出安定身心的重要性。「重為輕根」所說的「重」，可理解為沉穩與篤定，提醒人們做事要有穩定的根基，不隨外界變化而輕率浮動；「靜為躁君」則指出，內心的寧靜能夠引導、調節躁動，面對繁忙生活與紛雜思緒時，先讓自己安定下來，才能更從容地作出回應。

「清靜為天下正」進一步呼應回歸清明、平和的理念。將這份智慧放在日常養生之中，便是提醒大家在忙碌之餘，為自己保留片刻安靜，不讓生活的節奏始終被瑣事與情緒牽動。養生除了關注飲食與運動，也包含對自身狀態的覺察，以及適時放慢腳步的練習。

配合太極課程，當日的「清靜・釋躁卡」寫道：「紅塵紛擾，心浮氣躁。站樁靜修，首在收斂心神，在方寸身心裡，為自己留出一片清涼的空白。」這段文字點出本次課程的重點：透過站樁與靜修，將向外分散的注意力慢慢收回，感受當下的身體與呼吸，為紛亂的思緒留下一點停頓的空間。

Fanny藉此次茶會推廣太極，希望大家在認識動作之外，也能體會其中沉穩、專注與動靜相調的精神。「降伏紛亂」可理解為學習安頓思緒，減少被急躁情緒牽著走；「留白身心」則是在緊湊的生活中，為自己保留休息與調整的餘地。這份練習不只限於課堂，也能延伸至日常起居，讓養生成為生活中的一部分。

茶會另一項內容，是分享安神潤顏銀耳蓮子羹。這款甜羹採用百合、蓮子、雪耳、紅棗、枸杞及桂圓六種食材，其中雪耳亦稱銀耳。根據提供的食材介紹，這款甜羹以傳統食養中百合清潤、蓮子養心、雪耳滋潤及紅棗補養的概念為搭配基礎，再加入枸杞與桂圓，帶出自然甜香。

從太極課程中的收斂心神，到一碗溫潤甜羹所承載的日常關懷，譚華參茸行此次茶會將「清靜・釋躁」融入具體的生活體驗，也為社區民眾提供了認識傳統養生文化、交流生活心得的機會。

Tan Hua Inc. Hosts 37th Free Health and Wellness Tea Gathering

Tan Hua Inc. recently hosted its 37th free health and wellness tea gathering, with owner Fanny introducing Tai Chi classes and sharing a traditional Chinese dessert. The session’s theme, “Finding Stillness, Letting Go of Restlessness,” encouraged participants to make time for quiet in their daily lives.

The Tai Chi discussion drew on two passages from the Tao Te Ching: “Heaviness is the root of lightness; stillness is the master of restlessness,” and “Clarity and stillness set the world in order.”

In the context of the class, “heaviness” refers to being grounded and steady, rather than being easily distracted or reacting hastily. The emphasis on stillness offers a practical reminder: when life gets hectic, taking a moment to settle ourselves can help us respond with greater patience and clarity.

A theme card shared at the gathering connected these ideas to standing meditation. It described the practice as a chance to gather one’s attention, quiet a restless mind, and leave some breathing room amid everyday distractions. The focus was on returning attention to the body and breath.

Fanny’s introduction encouraged participants to appreciate Tai Chi beyond its physical movements, including its emphasis on concentration, steadiness, and the balance between movement and stillness. The session also explored how these principles can carry over into daily routines, from taking short breaks to allowing time for rest.

Guests were served a sweet snow fungus and lotus seed soup made with dried lily bulbs, lotus seeds, snow fungus, red dates, goji berries, and dried longan. Snow fungus, also called silver ear mushroom, gives the dessert its soft texture, while the dates and longan add sweetness.

According to the information provided at the gathering, the recipe reflects traditional Chinese food practices that associate lily bulbs and lotus seeds with calming nourishment, snow fungus with hydration, and red dates with replenishment. Presented as a gentle, comforting dessert, the soup complemented the afternoon’s focus on relaxation and everyday self care.

The gathering brought together Tai Chi, traditional food culture, and conversation, giving community members a chance to learn and share ideas about caring for their well being.
