Embrace the Sky with a Baby Heart: A Physician Veteran's 50 Year Experience on Tai-Chi, Qi Gong, and Meditation for Whole Health (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798743846672)

"Stress related disorders and fall resulted injuries are common. Medical studies showed that Tai-Chi improves balance and meditation helps stress disorders. All through my career as a physician, I have been studying the mental art of Chinese martial art, Taoism, Tai-Chi, Zen, and meditation. I find the art of these fields helped me tremendously in helping myself managing a stressful career and my traumatic experience in my personal life. Thus I am writing this book to describe the mental art in these fields as well as presenting to the readers my personal experiences practicing them. This book represents the distillate of my 50 year study of Lao-Tzu Taoism, ancient Chinese philosophy, Tai-Qi, Qi Gong, mental art of the internal style Chinese martial art, Zen, and meditation. Many of these disciplines are known to have "unspoken secret" at the core of its art. Zen masters indicated that their art could not be described by words. Taoism scholars stated that "the Tao" could not be defined. The meanings of Qi and Tai-Chi are also confusing and elusive. In this book, I attempt to explain the unexplainable secret of these disciplines. One thread that connects these remarkable and varied disciplines is simply: embrace the sky with a baby heart. Unlike pills, mental art is something your own mind must embrace. Journey of a thousand mile of peace and joy starts with a single thought. The embracement of a mental art may take persistent effort for a long period of time as well. But the end result can be as delightful as the enlightenment in Zen or as amazing as Bruce Lee's martial art."
