Publisher's Synopsis
An art embracing the mind, body, and spirit - Originating in ancient China, tai chi is one of the most effective exercises for the health of mind and body. Although an art with great depth of knowledge and skill, it can be easy to learn and soon delivers its health benefits. For many, it continues as a lifetime journey. If you're looking for a way to reduce stress, consider tai chi (TIE-CHEE). Often described as meditation in motion, tai chi promotes serenity through gentle, flowing movements.
Through the use of Tai Chi imagery, traditional Zen teachings, and the author's personal stories, you'll learn to "float like clouds and flow like water" not just in Tai Chi, but in all areas of your life.
From the book:
"This is not a how-to book on Tai Chi or on Zen. How-to books explore these arts from the 'outside in' - starting with the outer forms, and if the book is any good, to the inner practice.
"Instead, I want to work from the 'inside out' - to explore how these arts affect us on the inside. I want to focus on the motivation and understanding in these arts that lead us on the path to mindfulness."
