About the Author
From the age of twelve, Master Waysun Liao studied with a wandering Taoist and in a Taoist temple in Taiwan until he became a full Taichi and Tao master. Considered one of the world's foremost authorities on traditional Taoist wisdom and Chi arts, he is the founder and master of one of the oldest Taichi centers in North America. The Taichi Tao Center, founded in 1971, remains the worldwide teaching headquarters for Master Waysun Liao and is located in Oak Park, Illinois.
Master Waysun Liao is the last of a heritage of Tao masters carrying and transmitting the ancient oral traditions concerning the nature and the power of Tao. He shares his wisdom with students across the world. Other Taichi instructors, learning centers, martial arts masters, spiritual teachers, and Taichi group leaders around the world today learned Taichi from the Taichi Tao Center, and call him "Grandmaster Waysun Liao." It means that they see the unlimited potential within this wisdom and the amazing benefits in learning Taichi through Master Liao, and want to claim a part of that powerful legacy!
The good news is that now everyone can learn from Waysun Liao as their own grandmaster!
In addition to several leading books on Taichi, Chi and Tao, he has compiled a complete Taichi learning system on streaming online video, preserving the ancient temple teachings on moving meditation, the Tao, and internal energy development.

This book is awesome. I am a christian who just starting to learn taoism. This books explains Chi and toism so well that i start to understand christianity and taoism are basically talking about the same thing. One-Chi which nurtures the cosmo, is really one and only one GOD. Christianity and Taoism really just use different language to talk about the same thing. Wow. My mind is open.

5.0 out of 5 stars now anybody who has been mean or did anything bad in life can be explained in 2 wordsReviewed in the United States on February 5, 2016

Ya, now anybody who has been mean or did anything bad in life can be explained in 2 words : CHI BLOCKAGE. With chi blockage you do not judge but just know that if you unblock his chi, a douchbag can become harmonious human being. It is a book worthwhile having in your library. Harness the qi to the point where you can see Light in the most darkest places on earth, well that is what jedies from starwars achieved :D.
There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force (QI).

This is one of those books that you will want to read again, or just open up and start reading from any point. It is a very relaxing book to read and teaches you how to understand your life energy and how day to day life can drain it into non-existence. Then Waysun Liao teaches ways to feel and preserve your chi in a very simplistic way. It is a great book for setting the basics. It made me want to search out other books to further explore life energy.
