Western medical studies demonstrate that Tai Chi - the perfect exercise (according to Time magazine) - combats immune deficiencies, mitigates arthritis, improves circulation, decreases high blood pressure, and helps the elderly regain physical balance. This comprehensive guide reveals how and why. Rather than teaching a specific style of tai chi (taiji), the book gives readers the intellectual foundation and inspiration to use the practice as a potent preventative healthcare routine and regain control of their health.

Written by one of the first Westerners to become a Taoist lineage master, the book is full of practical, down-to-earth information, and covers wide-ranging topics including choosing an appropriate style and teacher; using tai chi to boost mental stamina and improve workplace productivity; how it enhances sexual, athletic, and intellectual performance; tai chi's relationship to Chinese medicine and Taoist philosophy; and how it can be used as a moving meditation and spiritual practice.
