TAIJI DEMYSTIFIED: THE RELATIONSHIP OF TAIJI PRINCIPLES TO PHYSICS, PHYSIOLOGY, PSYCHOLOGY, AND TAO
THOMAS LUPICH is a retired electrical designer from Princeton University’s Plasma Physics Laboratory. He is a taiji instructor with an interest in science and in health.
Many of the teaching in this book are novel since they relate to aspects of science not normally discussed in most taiji schools.
Taiji, in the most succinct terms, is a way of holistically and optimally interacting with every aspect of life. In the martial arts context, taiji is simply an ideal way by which the player finds comfort while efficiently propagating and delivering energy to an opponent, while simultaneously gathering intelligence regarding his opponent’s every move, using his force and energy against him. It’s a way to harmonize every aspect of your being – mind, spirit, body – into a unified flow, so that everything you do and think will be done more effectively, rapidly and comfortably.
To accomplish all of the above, there is a major prerequisite: one has to be quietly relaxed. Being relaxed is the main quality that taiji requires. And how does one become more relaxed? By learning how to not interfere with one’s self. The more relaxed one becomes, the more effective, soft, and powerful he becomes. Taiji is a way of life: a never-ending perfection process.

Take Flight: The Sonnets
The Sonnets
The Sonnets are one of the best known, and often most beautiful, forms of poetry. Of course, Shakespeare made them famous. His works are among the best of all time. In fact, his name has become synonymous with the name “Sonnet.”
The basic Sonnet is composed of 14 lines usually written in iambic pentameter, and frequently upon the theme of love or romance. But that is not always the case. What is best about a Sonnet is, that it is a structured type of poem, but that structure can be stretched in many different ways. It can be, and has been, argued that changing one or more of the elements does not change the essence of a Sonnet. If you can retain some or most of the elements, it is still a Sonnet. That is the premise of this book.
Within it, the author presents 73 different configurations/formats of the Sonnet Form, and he has personally written 170 examples. Each poem is a blended composition of verse, background, colors, and image. All the poems and all the photographs in this book are the author’s work.
About the author:
The author was born on 9/11/1948 and raised in Minnesota. He resides with his wife of 38 years in its Capital of St. Paul, Minnesota. So, the pictures and tone carry a Midwestern sensibility and leaning. He has been writing poetry since he was a freshman in high school, when he had to write one as a class assignment. He has been a top ranked poet on the FanStory site since 2011. In 2015, he judged the poetry for the VOICE of KANSAS, poetry contest. He worked over 40 years as a purchasing manager for a large defense contractor, but is now retired. He also lived in Colorado Springs from 1985 until 1991, and in St. James, LI, New York from 1991 until 1996.
