I am excited to announce the publication of my book, From Wu Chi to Tai Chi: A Story of Ancient Beginnings. This is a story of the ancient philosophical beginnings of Qigong and Tai Chi development in China. It is designed as a framework for using Tai Chi /Qigong to develop the consciousness needed for a lifetime of individual self-cultivation. This cultivation leads to increased health, longevity and the possibility of enlightenment. It begins with the ancient concept of Wu Chi and flows forward to cover the emerging world of Tai Chi and all of its tenets. Master Instructor Richard Leirer with 50 years of Qigong and T’ai Chi experience shares his knowledge of the Ancients in this easy to understand work.
