Beyond Tai Chi’s great martial and health benefits, Stepping Into Light is unique because it reveals, in easy-to-understand language, the ancient spiritual wisdom, Chinese theology, and rarely disclosed meditations that underpin the Tai Chi Form, taking you on a spiritual journey from the mundane world to the most spiritual.
Clive George studied the original Tai Chi Form of Yang Cheng Fu under the direction of some of the great Tai Chi masters of his time - the form described in this book. He also holds a degree in Comparative Religion, in which he focused on Tai Chi's spiritual, meditative, and theological foundation. Now, after teaching Tai Chi for over 40 years, he has retired, and this book is the culmination of that study.
