Tai Chi for a Healthy Body, Mind & Spirit by Hua-Ching Ni
Many styles of Tai Chi are available, but most of them only emphasise one aspect of its original purpose. The focus tends to be on either the martial arts or the health perspective, while the spiritual aspect has been lost. This book presents Tai Chi as a powerful tool for cultivating the spirit, as well as the mind and body.
Blue Dragon, White Tiger by Chang San Feng
Written during the Tang dynasty, this tantric guide documents a sexual tantra that is thought to have been practiced by kings for several dynasties, before losing favor to a more ascetic approach to Taoism. It provides insight into ancient tantric practices for those with an interest in Taoism, Chinese history and philosophy, and tantra. » Have you read this book?
