Book excerpt: "For the Western reader this is quite simply the best of the many books on T'ai Chi Ch'uan." -- David L. Hall, University of Texas. The foremost work on the ancient Chinese art of T'ai Chi Ch'üan in the English language is now even better. Master practitioner and teacher Sophia Delza has thoroughly revised her original guide to include substantial new material. T'ai Chi Ch'üan: Body and Mind in Harmony is a comprehensive survey of the age-old martial art, a system of activating the body for the development of physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Clearly detailed descriptions of the movements, illustrated with detailed drawings and photographs, enable you to practice alone. The book features a stimulating analysis of how body and mind function harmoniously, and a concrete explanation of how form and structure develop lasting physical health, mental alertness, stable vitality, and tranquility. "You have reaped a good harvest from your faithful practice and perseverance. Your book reveals profound comprehension (mind plus feeling). I am happy your are teaching." -- Grandmaster Ma Yueh-Liang, President, Wu Chien-Ch'uan, T'ai Chi Ch'uan Association of Shanghai, People's Republic of China
Book Synopsis Tai Chi Chuan and the Code of Life by : Graham Horwood
Download or read book Tai Chi Chuan and the Code of Life written by Graham Horwood and published by Singing Dragon. This book was released on 2008-06-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Tai Chi Chuan and the Code of Life, Graham Horwood describes the various styles of Tai Chi Chuan, exploring its roots in the Chinese philosophy of Taoism as well as elaborating on the evolution it has undergone over millennia. In order to understand the energetic method of Tai Chi Chuan and Chi Kung, he highlights parallels between its source, The I Ching, and archetypal principles from both Eastern and Western philosophy and medicine. The text and diagrams show the synergy between the different cultures, and shows how they are all linked. This enables the beginner or the experienced Tai Chi practitioner to improve their understanding of Tai Chi, which will strengthen both the mind and body, opening the gateway to the inner person. Drawing on information from the Yang family's formerly secret teachings, the book explains how to build chi (energy), circulate and store it, and also includes an exclusive set of Chi Kung exercises which will augment the building, circulation and storage of chi for the healer and martial practitioner, showing the path to optimizing the practitioner's energetic and spiritual development. The exercises are accompanied by an explanation of where chi comes from and its application for the mind and body as well as the flow in the meridians. The book provides an excellent introduction to both the theory and key practices of Tai Chi Chuan for the beginner, and multi-level insights for the seasoned practitioner that will enhance his or her practice and understanding of Tai Chi Chuan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first English language book on the subject of tai chi, this book brilliantly describes in detail each movement together with easy-to-follow pictures for a learning. First published in 1961, this book remains a firm favourite amongst beginners and refreshers alike. “My intention in writing this book is to bring to the attention of Western people this ancient masterpiece of health exercise, which, ancient though it is, is supremely suitable for us all in these modem times. I wish to create an informed understanding of what is necessary, theoretically, for a vital life, and also to arouse the interest of the reader and his willingness to apply this exercise for his own use. As an exercise that demands no physical strength to begin with, it therefore is as good for the weak as for the well, for young and old, men and women. Since the techniques are adjusted to, and develop with, individual capacities, it is practical for any disposition. “Movement by movement, step by step, with its organic and intrinsic harmony, it trains both body and mind-to longer life with heightened interest and deeper understanding. The calmness that comes from harmonious physical activity and mental perception, and the composure that comes from deep feeling and comprehension are the very heart of this exercise.”-The Author

Book excerpt: Dear Reader, In the modern world we live in, dealing with stress has become a problem we all face. Stress can be caused by challenging tasks at work, personal problems, and a variety of other factors. However, it is possible to learn and practice effective methods to combat stress. In this book, I will tell you the function of Tai Chi Chuan philosophy as a method of dealing with stress. We can use this technique as a way of thinking, a way of approaching events and problems, a way of managing daily stress. First of all, you need to have information about how Tai Chi Chua is done, what kind of mind and body coordination it requires, thus bringing a person to balance. We cannot stop the flow of life, but we can change the rhythm of life and even the direction of the flow. We can achieve this on our own. Thus, by actually managing ourselves, we learn to indirectly manage the part of life that concerns us. The purpose of this book is to provide readers with practical and effective strategies for stress management, to draw attention to the harmful effects of stress, and to provide information on the role of Tai Chi Chuan philosophy, rhythm slowing, and other techniques in combating stress. At the end of the book, practical tips and advice will be presented, and suggestions for future work will be made. We hope this book will be a useful resource for readers in coping with stress.

Book excerpt: Integrative Health Promotion is a comprehensive textbook that integrates the conceptual and theoretical bases of lifestyle approaches to health promotion and holistic approaches to healing. Health belief systems, models, and theories are emphasized. Additionally, the text stimulates thought and foundations for practice through the exploration of the theoretical and evidence bases for a variety of noninvasive therapeutic interventions. Cultural, legal, and ethical influences on health promotion are discussed. The text addresses the elements of healing as a goal of nursing, as contrasted with curing. Creating a helping relationship that is characterized by presence (being rather than doing), mindfulness, respect, genuineness, active listening, empathy, and the therapeutic use of self is one goal discussed within the text. Promoting community health through empowerment strategies and ecocentric approaches to global health are also presented. This book is dedicated both to the development and establishment of health promotion content in graduate nursing curriculum and practice. [Publ. Introd.]
