Description
Taoist adepts developed tai chi as a martial art and simultaneously as a way to cultivate the physical, energetic, and spiritual body. Like all Taoist exercises, its main goal is to create a connection with the fundamental energy that is the origin of all life: qi. Until the early twentieth century, tai chi was a secret art passed down only within a tightly-knit structure of family and loyal students. Despite the growing popularity of tai chi as a martial art and health exercise, many of its fundamental internal practices remain unknown even today. The authors of the book clearly demonstrate the relationship of the internal structure of tai chi to the absorption, transformation, and circulation of the three forces that enliven all life – universal forces, cosmic forces, and earthly forces – while revealing the principles and practices necessary to gain the full spectrum of physical, mental, and spiritual benefits that tai chi can bring you. (mastery of classical forms of tai chi qigong)
