Tai Chi Chuan, Somatics, and Your Brain: Maintaining a Continuous Thread; Applied Neuroscience to Im

The book "Tai Chi Chuan, Somatics, and Your Brain - How to Maintain a Continuous Thread" blends the distinguishing features of three highly complementary disciplines - Hanna Somatic Education, traditional Tai Chi Chuan, and conventional neurophysiology - into a practical, hands-on easy-to-read guide for Tai Chi enthusiasts of all skill levels, as well as lay readers. This book offers a wealth of ground breaking information about Hanna Somatics, a health and wellness modality that works by changing the way your brain and body communicate to alleviate pain and muscle stiffness, along with relevant neurophysiological theory as applied to Tai Chi. The author advocates for Somatics as an important part of every Tai Chi'er's practice. Readers can follow along to multiple body-freeing guided Somatics movement patterns as they read along. The author has also included highly detailed sections clarifying important Tai Chi technical aspects along with philosophical and autobiographical musings that shed light on Tai Chi's personal development features.
