One day the teacher asked the students to sit as silent as a mountain. First they listened to their own breathing. Then the teacher began to speak softly — a guided meditation — and the children let the calm voice lead their minds back to the present moment.
有一天，老師請學生們像山一樣安靜（silent）地坐著。他們先是聆聽自己的呼吸。接著老師開始輕聲說話——一段引導式（guided）的靜坐——孩子們讓這平靜的聲音把他們的心帶回到當下。
Next, the teacher stood up and led a slow Tai Chi flow. Arms lifted like rising water; feet stepped like floating clouds. Every child moved differently, yet the whole class flowed together — this is harmony. The teacher smiled and said, “When your body and your breath agree, you have found harmony in motion.”
接下來，老師站起來，帶著大家做一套緩慢的太極流動。手臂像上升的流水一樣抬起，腳步像飄浮的雲一樣移動。每個孩子的動作都不一樣，可是全班卻一起流動了起來——這就是和諧（harmony）。老師微笑著說：「當你的身體和你的呼吸一致時，你就在律動中找到了和諧。」
The teacher reminded them: each child is unique — no one else in the world moves, breathes, or thinks in exactly the same way. And still, all these unique bodies can move as one. That is the gift of the body as medicine: a healthy body and a calm breath become the home of a peaceful heart.
老師提醒他們：每個孩子都是獨一無二的（unique）——世界上沒有別人會用完全一樣的方式律動、呼吸或思考。但即使如此，這些獨一無二的身體仍然能像一體一樣律動。這就是「身體即良藥」所帶來的禮物：一個健康的身體和一份平靜的呼吸，會成為一顆平安的心的家。
