[Kathleen]

A helpful adjunct to tai chi lessons or practice.

I took my time reading this small book, letting each insight sink in. I practice tai chi twice a week, and each time I read a part of this book, I put what I read into action: the breathing, the posture, the meditation. It is a book I will share and reread.
