Summary: 5 Stars
If a person wants to be at their best
then they should pattern themselves after water
~Selection from the Tao Te Ching
John Bright-Fey is a natural teacher who takes simplicity to new levels of brilliance. When you learn other styles of T'ai Chi, you have to be so concerned about each movement and you can almost feel your inner perfectionist becoming frustrated.
With New Forest T'ai Chi, you are freed from perfectionism and finally you can express your creativity and personalize the flowing sequence of healing motion. To me, learning New Forest T'ai Chi was like learning how to paint imaginary calligraphy with my hands.
Not only is this form of T'ai Chi easy to remember, it heats the body, gives you an excellent workout and calms the nervous system. You also don't have to buy any special equipment. Some of the benefits I noticed almost immediately was more flexibility.
Grandmaster John Bright-Fey takes you through a series of exercises on the CD and all the exercises are featured in whimsical drawings with additional instruction and notes. He also covers topics like breathing, traditional Chinese medicine and has even translated four chapters from The Tao Te Ching. After reading the book, your workout will have a new depth of creativity.
I'd like to say this was "one, two, three" T'ai Chi. However, I think it is much more like calligraphy in motion. You paint numbers with your hands and this makes the movements super easy to remember.
Highly recommended for all ages. This gets you moving and it is truly a fun routine that you will never forget. The spiritual elements come from your own experience while doing the exercises and your peace of mind will last long after the routine has been completed. I felt happier, as if I had let my creative child out to play. I'm looking forward to reading all of John A. Bright-Fey's creative and healing books.
Also look for John A. Bright-Fey's video or DVD. I think this book is a beautiful companion to the DVD or Video.

Summary of A Morning Cup of Tai Chi (The Morning Cup series)
This colorfully illustrated 15-minute exercise routine introduces readers to the basics of the ancient ""bodymind"" art of Tai Chi. The author approaches Tai Chi with fun and simplicity, making this a practice anyone can engage in and enjoy. Tai Chi, the ancient Chinese art of mind-body harmony, is designed to achieve a balance of mental and physical fitness. It combines elements of calming, focusing, strengthening, toning, and balance. Tai Chi is popular among all age groups, especially seniors, because of its low physical impact and tremendously positive impact on vitality. Bright-Fey has developed and trademarked a revolutionary way to teach Tai Chi, called the New Forest Way. This simple method makes the art of Tai Chi easy for people of all ages to learn and use daily to improve their health.Tai Chi & Qi Gong Books
