5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, yet deep wisdom, October 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Secrets of the Tai Chi Circle: Journey to Enlightenment (Paperback)

I read this book without any prior knowledge of Tai Chi, and enjoyed every word of it. It is a story with characters that reveal themselves honestly, showing all the faces of being human, and sharing the learned wisdom of how to live a successful life. I am now re-reading it, one section at a time, after practicing ChiLel Qigong for over 6 months, a method described in the author's other book "101 Miracles of Natural Healing". I must say that when before I thought this "Secrets" book was profound, now I am getting even more from it, after experiencing working with my body, with chi (life energy), and with meeting other ChiLel Qigong students, who share wisdom just like in this book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is searching for ways to improve how they live their lives. The lessons stick with you because they are in story form, and done beautifully.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant but light, December 25, 1999

Dean (Auckland, New Zealand) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Secrets of the Tai Chi Circle: Journey to Enlightenment (Paperback)

An enjoyable and entertaining read for the uninitiated. However a little too heavy on the cliches, and absent of real substance for the serious T'ai Chi student to get much from.

5.0 out of 5 stars An EXCELLENT look at the Heart of Tai Chi Chuan!, April 3, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Secrets of the Tai Chi Circle: Journey to Enlightenment (Paperback)

If you're new to the mysteries of Tai Chi Chuan, an ancient form of Chinese martial arts, meditation & calisthenics, you just won't find a more delightful novel. The author goes deeply into his subjects search for self realization and finding the secrets of a happy life through the mystery of "Tai Chi". This book will NOT teach you the forms of "Tai Chi Chuan" but will probably cause you to seek out a teacher to explore the wonders that the author reveals. Written in a simple form, the book will make you laugh and cry at times and will deinately touch your heart! I am buying several copies to send to friends and will keep one available for those I meet in crisis periods in their lives. My feeling is that since there are now millions & millions of people learning these ancient secrets, why not give it a chance..You'll be glad you did!
