Book Description

August 28, 2002
Find harmony in your life by using Tai Chi to journey into the Tao--the oneness of the universe. Tai Chi is far more than a form of exercise; it is a complete philosophy and way of living based on ancient Chinese wisdom. Through an examination of selected verses from the classic text the Tao Te Ching, this concise volume reveals the traditions, philosophy, and essence of Tai Chi. See how to practice Tai Chi every second of the day. Understand how Tai Chi movements help a student achieve inner balance. Find out what transformation must take place in order to realize the discipline's true benefits. Since the exercises in Tai Chi are the physical manifestation of its philosophy, the movements are just one of the ways for achieving the desired fusion of mind, body, and spirit. Essential reading for all students of Tai Chi!

4.0 out of 5 stars hard to put down,but, October 18, 2010
This review is from: The Spirit of Tai Chi: Essential Principles (Paperback)
Not many books I've read lately compare to this book. Very interesting insights and life lessons. The Tai chi person is humble, non-competitive and has compassion for everyone,good,bad or otherwise. The book is just excellent. no fluff here! the one thing that struck as odd though is when he says we should not celebrate the victory over Germany's loss of WWII. The Author makes no mention of the millions of Jews that were killed at the hands of the Germans!! Food for thought. All in all a great book, one that belongs in the "best Book" category.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on tai chi spirit and everyday spirituality that I have read., November 20, 2008

This review is from: The Spirit of Tai Chi: Essential Principles (Paperback)
This is a must read for every tai chi student. Many students may be exceptional in their skill of form and application, but this is nothing without living the spiritual part of tai chi.

This should be a pre-requisite for living! What a better world this would be.
