Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This collection of quotations from the revered tai chi teacher, Hubert H. Lui, whom his students called simply "Mr. Lui," reminds us that in good times or bad, a harmonious life is possible. Hubert H. Lui (1911-1995), tai chi teacher, philosopher, and friend to many, believed that when we live the tai chi philosophy, we harmonize our lives with ourselves, others, and nature.Spiritual Snacks expresses the essentials of Mr. Lui's teachings on the subjects of open mind, growth, water wisdom, joy, togetherness, perseverance, learning / teaching, movement, and tai chi. An open mind helps us to see the beauty of the world, as our engagement with others helps us to see the beauty of friendship. When we act with selflessness and humility, when we offer others service and Vitamin L (love), we grow as individuals and we also create community.Through Mr. Lui's wise counsel and hilarious anecdotes, teachers and learners of tai chi grow in their interactions, illuminating and supporting one another. Tai chi meaning and movement develop through focus and practice in accordance with the water wisdom of continuous change. And Mr. Lui emphasized for his students and teachers alike that joy can be found all along the way.His uncanny ability of combining Western and Eastern thought is evident in these ideas drawn from sources as disparate as Lao Tzu and Oscar Hammerstein II. The blend of traditional tai chi philosophy, folk wisdom, and popular culture offers humor and insight for tai chi practice and for the development of a harmonious life.Mr. Lui, born Lui Hok Hoi in mainland China, moved to Hong Kong where he began his tai chi studies. He continued to study in Chicago after emigrating to the United States in the 1950s. From his modest beginnings teaching tai chi in a local church, he went on to develop the tai chi program at the Dance Center of Columbia University Chicago. Over the next decades, he expanded his teaching through classes, workshops and lectures. Today his students teach and practice throughout the United States.Mr. Lui's immigrant story is yet another version of the American dream coming to fruit. His adaptation of ancient wisdom to contemporary themes of health and harmony in a changing world have been instrumental tools for his many students in navigating the personal, the political, and the vicissitudes of the natural world.Through their enormous persistence in practice and in community, these students have forged a legacy for their revered teacher. It is uncanny that the book emerges into the current world where integrity, truth, honor, discipline, courtesy, and mutual respect are concepts that have lost their resonance in a fast-paced global trajectory unthinkable only a short time ago.Through the wisdom sayings and anecdotes of Mr. Lui, the grounding that is tai chi becomes accessible through words. Humor guides the reader to patience, harmony, discipline. Warm affection supports the reader's advancement toward perseverance, humility, determination.It was perhaps humility that was Mr. Lui's greatest charm, a characteristic that in these times accords with weakness, just as virtue now accords with poor transactional skills. Through Mr. Lui's humility and simultaneous strength of will, his integrity, and his dedication to his tai chi teaching and practice, he conveyed what it meant to live a truly happy life of growth, learning, and sharing. Put simply, Mr. Lui "walked the talk," and many have taken notice of his wisdom waymarks across the United States. This book is a testament to the durability of Mr. Lui's way of life and to his teaching. Hubert H. Lui gave his students tai chi teachings for harmonious living through self-awareness, growth, love, and appreciation of the world's beauty.

SINK LOW, KICK HIGH: The Art and Science of Tai Chi leads the reader into the enigmatic world of Tai Chi, drawing on both classical descriptions and modern scientific research.A Cogent and Experienced Teacher & AuthorThe author, Bradford C. Bennett, with a Ph.D. from Stanford University in mechanical engineering, is a former NASA research scientist whose academic career concentrated on Kinesiology and Somatic studies. He was trained in the movement art of Tai Chi by Hubert H. Lui, whose practice and translations of The Tai Chi Classics can be found in the books, Tai Chi Chuan, The Technique of Power, by Tem Horwitz, Susan Kimmelman, and H. H. Lui, and also in Tai Chi for Health and Harmony: A Special Short Form Developed by Hubert H. Lui, edited by Judith A. Chambliss and Allan Bruce Zee.Movement and ThinkingThe main portion of the book is divided into three intertwined parts: Movement, Thinking, and Doing. The book begins with the most accessible aspect of Tai Chi, the movements. Both the physical as well as the mental aspects of Tai Chi movements are explored. The characteristics of Tai Chi as put forth in The Tai Chi Classics are presented and then examined from, first, the view of biomechanics and neuromuscular functioning and then from the perspective of learning, highlighting the holistic nature of Tai Chi. This examination, using modern research findings to validate the methods of Tai Chi, reveals the genius of past Tai Chi masters. Repeatedly, Sink Low, Kick High shares research results suggesting that Tai Chi leads, not only to a longer life, but a longer and healthier life.Living Philosophy & Growing ArtThe section on Tai Chi Thinking presents Tai Chi as a living philosophy. This view is illustrated from the writings of past Tai Chi masters. The qualities of generosity and goodness are illustrated along with "water wisdom," yielding, the Margin Theory, yin and yang, and many other aspects of Taoism that show Tai Chi to be a "living growing art," a practical every day, living philosophy of constant change and improvement. The book makes the connection between the physical and the mental aspects of Tai Chi very clear, and that this ancient practice in our contemporary world creates a powerful, living philosophy.Practice, Practice, PracticeThe Doing section presents tips on practicing Tai Chi and Tai Chi as a daily practice. This section further advises on how long to practice, how to find a good teacher, and the importance of daily practice. Finally, Sink Low, Kick High, provides a compelling parallel between Tai Chi and the meditation arts, detailing how changes in the brain, much like those seen in long term meditators, have been indicated in recent research studies.A Great Gift for Any MoverProfessor Bennett presents Tai Chi as both a movement art, a practical living philosophy, and as a means of achieving a healthier, happier, longer life. The book takes the reader on a journey toward a better understanding of the breadth of Tai Chi practice. It provides real inspiration for beginners and also for experienced practitioners of Tai Chi. All will appreciate the book's thoughtful approach through science and The Tai Chi Classics toward a more committed practice. One of the most interesting facets of the book is its relevance to any movement art or spiritual practice, from dance to sport, from yoga to sitting meditation.
