Apart from its physical benefits, the practice of T'ai Chi Ch'uan can foster emotional health and psychological well-being. Author Margaret Emerson, a longtime student and teacher of T'ai Chi, examines how the skills developed in the practice of T'ai Chi Ch'uan--awareness, concentration, mobility, and flexibility--can enrich our personal and professional lives. When integrated as a daily practice, T'ai Chi Ch'uan can enhance health, creativity, and encounters with friends, family, and strangers.
