Tai Chi Imagery Workbook: Spirit, Intent, and Motion is not another sequentially pictured instruction manual on Tai Chi forms. In fact, the book does not assume that the reader knows, or is interested in learning, any Tai Chi form. The author, Martin Mellish, aims to communicate the practical wisdom underlying Tai Chi to increase awareness of the mind-body relationship and reduce unneeded tension. It attempts this by using creative imagined scenarios coupled widi pictures and diagrams. Scenarios with imagery such as moving animals, solid mountains, spinal columns as strings of pearls and bowls of fruit in the pelvis are used to engage die reader's many senses to produce meaningful physical awareness. This book would be useful not only to die student of Tai Chi, but also of any healing modality, dance, sport, meditation or conscious physical art.
