Tai Chi Chuan & I Ching Book by Da Liu (Preowned)

A careful and helpful guide for those who wish to follow a traditional Chinese way to health of body and depth of mind detailed, illustrated descriptions of each movement, explaining the uses, underlying principles, and origin of Tai Chi Ch'uan.

Any person, young or old, can do the exercises in this book for health, relaxation, and peace of mind. With Tai Chi Ch'uan an individual can become attuned to the ever-flowing changes of earth and heaven--the yielding and firmness of yin and yang.

The T'ai Chi Ch'uan movements are related to the I Ching, the Chinese book of wisdom. As the individual masters these movements, he or she will understand that the outward motions of a healthy body come naturally from a disciplined, enlightened mind.
