Customer Reviews

Excellent Reading

Waysun Liao's words are written in laymen's terms which are understandable and succinct. It give one food for thought and exploration of the "chi" within. Excellent reading !!!

A bargain at ten times its price

The transformative effect this book initiated in my Tai Chi/ Qigong practice of thirteen years has been invaluable. Master Liao's emphasis on chi awareness and cultivation stands in sharp contrast to that of many teachers who focus on a sequence of memory - stretching postures, i.e., placing quantity above quality. That being said, I would foreworn readers that at least several weeks to months of consistent practice may be necessary for most individuals to begin to realize the benefits of Master Liao's teaching.

I'll recommend this book to anyone interested in improving your life and inner strength!!!

I have been involved in several Martial Arts (=that always include the harmony of your inner spirit/Chi/QI/"Your Trueself" for over 30 years... This book is easily read and yet comprehensive to understand for anyone (also readers without MA experience). Interesting, clarifying in a simple way, written by a master and if you use the recomended applications - they will change your road in life forever. Mats Fondelius, from USA/Sweden

For Taichi players, meditators, chi healers, Tao seekers, et al ....

This book is probably the only one I've found that answers the real questions: "What is chi? Where did it come from? and, what can you do with it?" While the last section of the book illustrates some basic taichi exercises that anyone can do at home, the content would be valuable to those studying acupuncture, herbal medicine, meditation, or chi healing as well -- not just taichi students. Warning: This book looks and sounds deceptively simple, but inside are some pretty intense statements about the Tao, the nature of life and mind and the soul which aren't the usual stuff. It will definitely challenge you to expand your views on taichi and Taoism. Since I like that type of challenge, I give this five stars.

A Rare Gift From a True Master

Having practiced t'ai chi for 25 years, I can say that Master Liao's book is among the most meaningful ever written on the subject of chi. This is a book that will open a true connection to your internal life force, and begin to help you develop that energy for the good of yourself, and the world. Read this book if you have any interest in developing your inner spiritual life.
