T'ai Chi Ch'uan - Tem Horwitz & Susan Kimmelman with H.H. Lui
Technique of Power
KORTE INHOUD
Written by members of a Chicago collective that teaches dance and Tai Chi, this book is perhaps one of the most accessible and successful introductions ever written to the Taoist practice of bringing the body into harmony with its surroundings (and the mind into harmony with the body) by way of formalized exercises.
These exercises are related to Chinese martial arts, and are designed to focus and channel the body's energies, to strengthen the muscles, to balance the opposite forces of Yin and Yang, to calm the mind and induce a meditative stillness and emotional resilience.
No exercise system can be learned from a book, but with a book such as this one, can lay the foundations for understanding and prepare the student for the practice itself.
