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.

Through the recurrence of memory, myth, and grief, 回 / Return
captures the elusory language of sorrow and solitude that binds
Taiwanese diasporic experience. Rooted in the classical tradition
of the Chinese “reversible” poem, 回 / Return is engaged in
the act of looking back—toward an imagined homeland and a
childhood of suburban longing, through migratory passages,
departures, and etymologies, and into the various holes and voids
that appear in the telling and retelling of history. The poems ask:
What is feeling? What is melancholy? Can language translate either?
