Awaken, Heal, and Strengthen Your Mind, Body and Spirit
Each day, millions of people worldwide practice Tai Chi Chuan, which has
been known for centuries to promote deep relaxation and excellent
health, to prevent injuries and illnesses, and to improve martial
skills.
Tai Chi has steadily become a popular form of Mind/Body exercise as more
and more people in the west discover the rich rewards of living in a
holistic way. Tai Chi is a journey through the mind, the body, and the
spirit, that can be practiced by everyone. Increasingly, you can see
people practicing in the park - moving slowly in a meditative state, or
even perfecting their martial arts skills.
But, what is Tai Chi really?
This book clearly introduces the history and underlying principles of
Tai Chi Chuan (taijiquan) from a modern and unique perspective. For the

Chi, allowing you to fine-tune your Mind/Body skills and create balance

directions and instructions, helping you improve and expand Mind/Body
knowledge. In the end, you will understand and experience the ultimate
goal of Tai Chi; the harmonizing of the three forces - human, earth, and
heaven.
