Tai Chi SURGE: Radical ZMQ Energetics,Used

SURGE is packed with tricks and tips for turning Tai Chi into the engine of internal power mastery it was originally meant to be. While centered on the Zheng Manqing 37Step Simplified Tai Chi method, the insights and practices for internal power development can be adapted to other methods. The book is geared to those whove learned or are learning the ZMQ method or another Tai Chi system, but its insights on Tai Chi internal power will also be enlightening and inspiring for beginners or the casual reader whos merely Taicurious.Beyond Tai Chi, SURGE will be of interest to any martial artist or healer who is involved with development or application of the bodys intrinsic nonmaterial energies.Contents Preface Fable Introduction Tai Chi Structure Principles A Further Note on Relaxation The CatStep Protocol CatStep Imagery CatStep: Left Wardoff Example The CounterSink Protocol CounterSink: Left Wardoff Example Duration How to Work It Barriers, Hangups, Impediments Pose Notes (The ZMQ37 Form) Bread Sandwich Tai Chi Advanced Work The Big Picture Refund PolicySURGE is emphatically not a full photosequence paintbynumbers introduction to the entire method. Although the internal development requirements for every pose in the ZMQ sequence are fully described, visual references for each pose are not included. SURGE is not adequate for, and not intended as, a stepbystep tutorial on the mechanics of the system. You cannot learn the ZMQ method from this book. It is intended as a supplement to your Tai Chi study. Please take this advisory very seriously youll sound ridiculous if you later complain: I couldnt learn the Tai Chi form from this book!Its a repository of profound internal training insights that you can apply to the Tai Chi that youve learned elsewhere.If youre wondering where this book fits with my other books on Tai Chi, heres how they relate: JUICE is a love letter; PENG is a travel guide; SURGE is the owners manual.SURGE will also be useful as companion notes for my future DVD release Tai Chi GROUND (expected in 2015) which demonstrates and teaches every ZMQ37 pose and all the interpose transitions, under this same internal cultivation framework.I really dont want dissatisfied customers, and Im sure youd rather not waste your money and then your time, venting your angry spleen all over the internet. Fortunately I have a track record and before clicking to buy this, I request that you do some research by reading all the reviews of all my other books. Read the cheers and the jeers, the lovers and the haters, all of it, before deciding to buy. Though embedded rocksolid in the philosophy of the Tai Chi Classic Writings, nevertheless the title says it best: my approach is RADICAL, and it seriously baffles and bothers many people. If, after doing full diligence, youre left with any doubts whatsoever, thats the universe giving you thumbsdown, telling you this material isnt for you, so err on the side of caution and save your money.
