Cultivating the Ch'i
Compiled and transl. by Stuart Alve Olson. Translation of the chapters
that form the foundation for effective T'ai Chi. After an explanation of
the overall benefits of T'ai Chi you will learn the relationship between
mind and Qi, how to generate internal energy through correct breathing methods
and the role of seated meditation in T'ai Chi. Two final chapters, incorporating
stop-motion photography, explain the key Chi Kung exercise and other essential
training techniques. Translated from text by Chen Kung, rapidly becoming
the acknowledged "Bible" of Tai Chi Chuan. |
