Chi: Discovering Your Life Energy

It truly gives you the essence of Chi in the manner of the older Masters. I find it very helpful as I practice Tai Chi Qui Gong and Martial Arts. There is a wonderful gentleness about it, with a respect for tradition. It is hard to find a copy.

This book is probably the only one I've found that answers the real questions: "What is chi? Where did it come from? and, what can you do with it?" While the last section of the book illustrates some basic Tai Chi exercises that anyone can do at home, the content would be valuable to those studying acupuncture, herbal medicine, meditation, or chi healing as well -- not just Tai Chi students. Warning: This book looks and sounds deceptively simple, but inside are some pretty intense statements about the Tao, the nature of life and mind and the soul which aren't the usual stuff. It will definitely challenge you to expand your views on Tai Chi and Taoism. Since I like that type of challenge, I give this five stars.

This author is one of the "real deal" masters of the internal arts. You can't go wrong with his teachings.
