Life Force is a generic term used to describe what the Chinese call Qi/Ch'i (pron: "Chee"), the Japanese Ki and the Indians Prana. Without this energy we would be dead, hence 'life force' as it behind all living things, including the Universe.

The Life Force Arts
For many hundreds of years before Christ was born the Eastern cultures have known about Qi and its life enhancing properties. Qi comes in many forms and is all around us, an energy which is invisible, like electricity, yet can be felt. Many of the world's greatest men, like Siddhartha Gautama - Lord Buddha, Lao Tzu, Huang Ti - The Yellow Emperor - and Zhangsangfeng all recognised the  importance of various energies. Many sagely wise men spent their whole lives dedicated to the persuit of truth and enlightenment and with this usually came the realisation of the need to stay fit and healthy. Even Dr. Einstein recognised many forces that other people did not know about, but he approached things from a Western mathematical scientific angle, rather than a pragmatic Eastern approach.

Our humble publishing company was formed with a view to helping people understand the real values of life through books which will illuminate the path to a healthier, more productive lifestyle which also helps promote long life and true happiness. In a modern culture which promotes useless novelties, gadgets and fashions and other useless trends, all short lived, it is becoming increasingly more important to many people to find an alternative way of living, a practical philosophy, simple remedies for illness and preventative medicine for avoiding ill health.  Life Force publishing (UK) aims to provide illuminating materials which we hope that you, the reader or viewer, will eventually come to regard as the kingpin of your collection.

The first book in our series about practical Taoist Arts is Tai Chi Diet ("Ch'ang Ming") or Macrobiotics. It is more than that though as it helps the reader to understand what food is and what it does for you or to you. Started in 1982 the book has been constantly updated and added to try to make it the most useful diet and nutrition book you will ever own.  A better diet lays the foundations to a better lifestyle and more effective exercise or meditations. The book uses some striking examples and simple analogies, like "The human body is like a car. If you look after it will serve you well, but fail to maintain it and it will break down." Using what the author calls a "list and loose" method it becomes quite easy to enhance your health and life, enabling you to enjoy life more and feel the Life Force surging within you.
