Restoring Your Life Energy

In our busy lives we are bombarded by physical and emotional stressors that tax us and deplete our vital life energy, known as chi. Chi, according to traditional Chinese medicine, is the fuel and essence that connects body, mind, and spirit, and without it we fall apart physically, mentally, and spiritually. In Restoring Your Life Energy, well-known and respected t'ai chi master Waysun Liao explains why protecting our chi is so important, how chi gets taxed and damaged in our lives, and how to restore it. He includes simple exercises and meditations to be done on a daily basis that will help cleanse the negative energy that we all take in every day. Master Liao also explains:

  • The three levels of healing--physical, mental, and energetic/spiritual: what they are, why it is important to understand them, and how to target our practice to address each level;
  • Moving meditation, a powerful way of restoring chi (once we learn to sense the flow of chi, we can actually direct healing chi energy to areas in our body that need attention);
  • And how to integrate our knowledge of chi with conventional advice regarding diet, exercise, and medication.
  • The practices are illustrated by thirty-three photos of the author demonstrating the exercises, and three diagrams.
