After covering the underlying principles of t'ai chi and how they fit together, and explaining the link between t'ai chi and chi kung (in which, as the author puts it, chi kung represents the roots and t'ai chi the trunk of the tree of knowledge of "chi" - energy - healing) this book provides step-by-step instruction on t'ai chi exercises as a series. It also describes how an individual exercise can have specific benefits, such as "letting go of self-criticism and accepting yourself as you are" or "learning the art of receiving and giving with love".
As a student of Rainbow Tai Chi, this book is invaluable to help reinforce the learning and just like in practicing Tai Chi and learning to slow down, the lessons and wisdom shared in this book begin to sink in and transform your life, truly leading back to a happier you.
I've now tried to read this book twice over the years - I give up again :( It can go to a charity shop now - maybe there is someone out there who will enjoy it :) Far too "Spiritual" for me
