De: Tim Parsons

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

The Valley Spirit is a state of potential and natural awareness that rests in spaciousness between the separation of dual qualities. Led by this quality of mind, Cultivating the Valley Spirt is the process of discerning these dualities within the body at progressively finer levels of subtlety.

Amid a world filled with information, misinformation and myriad possibilities. this practice offers a clear, minimal and essential path of internal development aligned with classic T’ai Chi Principles and Daoist teachings, deepening the practice of T’ai Chi as an internal art, and progressing naturally towards the experiences of Nei Gong and Internal Alchemy.

“From the seed of stillness, form and function naturally unfold”

This book provide a concise, “bare-bones” explanation of how to practice and follow the pathway that unfolds. Cultivating the Valley Spirit may initially appear philosophically abstract - it is not. It is grounded in direct experience and can only be genuinely understood and followed through practice.

The book also includes a supplementary chapter in support of personal practice. It consists of abridged and updated content from Balancing the Sentinel Stars originally released as a Kindle eBook in 2021 as part of the Natural Way T'ai Chi Study Notes series. These notes are published to make material readily available to students, former students and other interested practitioners.
