  If T'ai-Chi is the trunk of the tree of knowledge and chi healing, Chi Kung represents the roots, and neither can flourish without the other. T'ai-Chi Chi Kung helps the beginner to understand this dual philosophy, explaining how, in the Tao of Colour, each exercise is related to a colour and each colour to an emotion. The exercises can be practised individually or as a whole, for as little as five minutes a day. Some are ideal for the end of a stressful day; others will uplift the spirit if performed out of doors in the sunshine; some can even be applied to routine tasks such as ironing and typing. The aim is to promote self-esteem and self-development in a happy and healthy body.

  After covering the underlying principles of t'ai chi and how they fit together, and explaining the link between t'ai chi and chi kung (in which, as the author puts it, chi kung represents the roots and t'ai chi the trunk of the tree of knowledge of chi - energy - healing) this book provides step-by-step instruction on t'ai chi exercises as a series. It also describes how an individual exercise can have specific benefits, such as letting go of self-criticism and accepting yourself as you are or learning the art of receiving and giving with love .
