For centuries people have embraced Tai Ji's fluid, harmonious movements as a way of nourishing their bodies, minds, and souls. The peaceful, concentrated dance of Tai Ji (a more contemporary translation of the martial art commonly known as Tai Chi) stands in marked contrast to the fast and furious pace of our modern world. With easy-to-follow descriptions of basic Tai Ji movements and a detailed discussion of Tai Ji's relationship to nature, space, and time, this book provides an abundance of useful information on this art. Promoting strength, relaxation, and clarity, the text examines how to unify mind and body, and achieve a more healthful state of being.
