Speaking of New Age Tai Chi

"When a modern day "New Age" practitioner of tai chi speaks of the art as being  "good for his health and a way to align his energy with the energy of the Tao," that viewpoint came largely from Sun Lu Tang. Or when pa kua practitioners walk the pa kua circle on a California beach and talk of how "pa kua forms are physical embodiments of the I-Ching," their ideas derive largely from Sun Lu Tang. Or when modern day practitioners of xing yi opine that "the five forms of xing yi interact like the five basic elements in Taoist cosmology," they to owe their thinking largely to Sun Lu Tang."
- Elisabeth Guo and Brian L. Kennedy, Sun Lu Tang: Fighter, Scholar and Image Maker.

Music for a New Age

I enjoy listening to New Age Music when I walk, read, and garden.  A good list of choices for New Age music is the Grammy Award for the Best New Age Music Albums.  

I use the MP3 format on my Sony Walkman MP3 players.  I can take my favorite music anywhere. 

I have written before about how I enjoy the music of Robert Mirabal, aka Johnny Whitehorse, e.g., 'Totemic Flute Chants.'  I also enjoy Steven Halpern, Kitaro, and cello music. 

Lately, I have been listening to the music by the Paul Winter Consort, specifically Crestone and Miho: Journey to the Mountain. Both ablums won a Grammy Award.
