Summary:
"Living with Taiji is the product of decades of experience: Grandmaster Frieder Anders has practiced Yang-style Taiji for almost fifty years, served as a teacher for over forty years, and applied its methods to nourish life for over twenty years. The book divides into two parts. First, "Taiji in Action" reprints sections of monthly blog posts on the concrete activation of the practice; it focuses on the breathing types and the growth of inner power. Second, "Fundamental Concepts" introduces key principles as well as the Daoist perspective (by Emmanuel Seitz). The book is inspiring and easy to read; it offers an in-depth understanding of Taiji and gentle guidance toward the personal unfolding of optimal ways of being and resilience through inner power"-- Provided by publisher.
