To enliven your practice with or without a formal teacher. To provide guidance to advance your tai chi practice from a mere act of 'doing' tai chi to a method of «tai chi as a way of following your heart.» Why tai chi? After more than thirty years of practicing tai chi chuan, author Henry Zhuang shares what has kept him with tai chi for so long, and how tai chi evolved to a rewarding path toward improving life and happiness. Step-by-step, the author presents a clear exploration of the benefits of tai chi. Some benefits are physical (strength, balance, vitality), while others are internal (virtue, courage, harmony).
