A Tai Chi Imagery Workbook | Free Book
This innovative book makes the benefits of Tai Chi directly
available to Westerners by communicating its essence in poetic,
evocative, and humorous images that apply not only to movement
practices of all kinds but to daily life. The book does not assume
any knowledge of Tai Chi forms.
The images in this book -
drawn from a wide variety of sources, both Chinese and Western,
ancient and modern - are easy to understand, fun to work with, and
embody the true inner spirit of Tai Chi's timeless tradition. The
book contains hundreds of photos and line drawings illustrating the
images, detailed explanations of the biomechanical realities that
underlie the images, and a summary of the latest scientific research
on the benefits of Tai Chi.
In The Press
Post Cultural-Revolution tai chi does not include imagery, but Mellish learned from older teachers. He brings a sense of play to the underlying illustrated movements, while inviting body mindfulness, designed to tap into inner wisdom for building strength, flexibility, and balance... these practices, illustrated and explained with humor and wisdom, create the potential for a powerful mind-body shift. Profound moments emerge in comments such as "Commitment does not mean increasing the force that is pulling you forward, but letting go of the force that is holding you back." These physical practices combined with visuals bring such wisdom alive by igniting mindful movement in unexpected and everyday ways.
