Awaken, Heal, and Strengthen Your Mind, Body and Spirit
Each day, millions of people worldwide practice Tai Chi Chuan, which has been known for centuries to promote deep relaxation and excellent health, to prevent injuries and illnesses, and to improve martial skills.
Tai Chi has steadily become a popular form of Mind/Body exercise as more and more people in the west discover the rich rewards of living in a holistic way. Tai Chi is a journey through the mind, the body, and the spirit, that can be practiced by everyone. Increasingly, you can see people practicing in the park – moving slowly in a meditative state, or even perfecting their martial arts skills.
But, what is Tai Chi really?
This book clearly introduces the history and underlying principles of Tai Chi Chuan (taijiquan) from a modern and unique perspective. For the beginner, this program is a comprehensive introduction to authentic Tai Chi, allowing you to fine-tune your Mind/Body skills and create balance among them. For the intermediate and advanced, it includes important directions and instructions, helping you improve and expand Mind/Body knowledge. In the end, you will understand and experience the ultimate goal of Tai Chi; the harmonizing of the three forces – human, earth, and heaven.

About the Author
Ramel Rones is a gold medalist, award-winning martial artist in both the U.S. and China. With 16 years of experience leading Tai Chi, Qigong and Meditation classes, he focuses on helping individuals with conditions like cancer, arthritis, and fibromyalgia. Rami is a consultant on mind/body therapies at Harvard and Tufts Medical Schools, and is the co-author of numerous publications.
In 2004, National Geographic filmed a study done on the effects of Meditation and Tai Chi. Ramel Rones was asked to meditate using various methods, while his brain was scanned and vital signs were recorded.
The data extracted demonstrated Rami's ability to rapidly modulate his breathing rate and physiological arousal level as he entered a meditative state. This found that advanced meditators like Rami are able to activate a broad network of cortical and subcortical areas associated with emotional and cognitive regulation, which has many health benefits.
David Silver has had a lifelong interest in meditation, and began training Gojū Ryū Karate at age 11. He studied Taijiquan, Qigong, and Yoga in his 20's, and became certified by world-renown Chinese martial arts master, Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming, as a YMAA Qigong Instructor.
He volunteers for the nonprofit YMAA Retreat Center.
David works as a writer, producer, and director of instructional martial arts and health books and DVDs. He is the co-writer of the best-selling Sunrise Tai Chi book and DVD, Tai Chi Energy Patterns DVD, and Sunset Tai Chi book and DVD. He has produced many titles, including those by Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming. David lives and teaches on Cape Cod, MA.
