Tai Chi and Qigong are powerful tools, profound yet simple, that will assist you in fulfilling your intentions, needs, goals - even your dreams!' - Roger Jahnke, O.M.D.Developed over millennia in Chinese monasteries, hospitals, and imperial courts, Tai Chi and Qigong (literally life-force and mastery) are profound yet simple methods for increasing vitality, longevity, and sexual potency; achieving and maintaining optimal health and inner peace; and healing both minor and major illnesses.

I have recently taken up Chi Kung ( I already practice Tai Chi)and this book was recommended by our teacher. I found it excellent. I took it on holiday with me and couldn't put it down! It is so accessible as it is easy to read, and the exercises are easy to follow. The writing is clear and enhanced by the Chinese characters in the margin, which makes the book aesthetically pleasing as well as informative. It's worth having the book just for the walking meditation on page 46. This clearly demonstrates that the most simple of things can be the most powerful. I am also studying Reiki and find the energising exercises most useful as there is a resonance with those teachings. All in all, this is a very useful book.

I got this book as a present a year or so ago. I have been studying martial arts for a long time and Tai Chi specifically for about a decade.
The book is well presented and has a few good exercises in it. On the whole however it is a bit too long - there is a running story throughout this book about the author's adventures in the orient with mystical masters - although I found this to be ok he does go on a bit. The exercises in the book could be captured within about 10-20 pages - the rest is froth.
All the way through the book the author hints that wonderful things are coming at the turn of a page. In reality however there is little wonderful to be found and the style becomes more and more irritating the more you read. Its a shame really as some of the book is quite good.

This book has already helped me with my Tai Chi grading essay's and it will help in all my other grading work over the next few years. A good book to have if you are a grading student.
