Unlike most tai chi books, which focus strictly on how to do the tai chi forms, Tai Chi as a Path of Wisdom presents a personal, practical view of this intriguing martial art. Lehrhaupt shares illuminating stories from her own life and the lives of her students that show how tai chi can be a vehicle for profound self-discovery and spiritual growth. In learning to master each body posture, tai chi students often confront self-doubt, frustration, and the desire to compete and compare themselves to others--problems that also arise in daily life. Lehrhaupt shows how these and other obstacles provide valuable opportunities to deepen awareness and recognize the striking continuities between practice and everyday life. Each section of the book includes practical exercises designed to enhance students understanding of tai chi movements, and a helpful appendix answers many frequently asked questions about tai chi training such as how to find a teacher and how to balance practice with family life. Full of useful insights and guidance, Tai Chi as a Path of Wisdom will be a valuable companion for all students of this increasingly popular martial art.About the Author:Linda Myoki Lehrhaupt, Ph.D., has taught tai chi and chi kung since 1982. An ordained Zen priest, she leads workshops throughout Europe and is the cofounder, along with her husband, of La Martinie, a center in the Dordogne, France, where retreats in Zen meditation and meditative arts take place.
