Healing Art Of Tai Chi, The: Becoming One With Nature

Is tai chi a stretching exercise, deep-breathing program, martial art, dance or prayer? Yes, it's all those and more.Tai chi, like many ancient Eastern practices, does not fit strict Western categories. Tai chi, together with the extraordinary self-healing method developed by Dr Lee, offers relief for stress, breathing disorders, muscular ailments, chronic headaches, and a variety of modern office- and sports-related complaints, as well as for deep emotional distress.Few today are as well positioned to explain the healing powers of tai chi as Dr. Martin Lee, a renowned engineering physicist and tai chi master. He and his wife, Emily, also a tai chi master, are the only Americans to have studied with Yu Pen-Shih, one of China's foremost ch'i kung masters. Dr. Lee has developed a groundbreaking practical program that combines Eastern and Western approaches to wellness, which he calls "physical philosophy." Its goal is to help people become "one with nature," a Buddhist term for the natural restoration of true health.The rewards of one-with-nature tai chi are inner happiness, self-control, self-realization, and self-healing. Each one of these benefits receives individual attention, complete with the 64 tai chi forms, thoroughly illustrated with photographs and diagrams. The central focus is on the flow of energy — the chi, or "inner breath" — that tai chi evokes through Lee's four basic instructions: Relax. Breathe. Feel the earth. Do nothing extra. Here is a valuable health, exercise, and meditation program that combines ancient spiritual insights with advanced scientific knowledge and important original discoveries.

Freedom and the Rule of Law

In modern American society, the rule of law is so regularly taken for granted that there is little appreciation for its importance or for what life would be like without it. Yet it was of critical importance to our founders, and is linked inextricably with the separation of powers system. Perhaps because we Americans take the rule of law for granted, we may not realize the extent to which the concept has been severely undermined of late. Freedom and the Rule of Law will serve as a reminder to its readers of how central the rule of law is to our Constitution, and of what we Americans stand to lose from its continued erosion. Anthony Peacock has assembled a terrific group of scholars to make this case on a variety of fronts, and readers will very much profit from their efforts.

The Struggle for Sovereignty

The English Civil War in mid-century and the Glorious Revolution of 1688 were the culmination of a protracted struggle between kings who were eager to consolidate and even extend their power and subjects who were eager to identify and defend individual liberties. The source and nature of sovereignty was of course the central issue. The writings, by the renowned (Coke, Sidney, Shaftsbury) and the unremembered (Anonymous) therefore constitute an enduring contribution to the historical record of the rise of ordered liberty.
