Product Description
Synopsis
This form of Qi Gong was developed by Shaolin priests and brought to the West from Beijing in the mid-1980s. It is an ancient Chinese discipline with links to Martial Arts and Chinese medicine. The book includes 16 basic exercises, and they can be practised anywhere, at any time, to prolong life, to heal, and to cultivate personal power by transmitting and absorbing Qi simultaneously. The theory of meridians and how energy courses throughout the body is covered here, and this work examines how they relate to Chinese medicine; in particular acupuncture. Also included are instructions for healing specific ailments, for preventing disease, and for increasing energy.

This review is from: Shaolin Nei Jin Qi Gong: Ancient Healing in the Modern World (Paperback)
Very detailed book on this form of qigong. Learnt a lot about the principles of qigong and has a great section showing the meridian lines in the body. Will be doing and learning more about the various movements as well as the hand exercises. Lovely book to practice with.

Excellent Documentation on a Famous Qigong form,
By Richard Deveno - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shaolin Nei Jin Qi Gong: Ancient Healing in the Modern World (Paperback)
A previous reviewer describe the form that this book documents as "too simple" for people interested in the martial arts... For the record, the form described by this book was a closely guarded secret of the Shaolin temple and it formed the basis for developing "external" qi for both martial and healing applications. The form was made public early in the twentieth century and has become very popular in China. Most extremely effective qigong are deceptively simple. The secret of their application lies in years of constant practice.

Simple but powerful,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shaolin Nei Jin Qi Gong: Ancient Healing in the Modern World (Paperback)
This book is excellent for those who wish to renew their health and maintain it. The most important part is the Horse Stance andOne Finger Gong. Practising this alone soon brings qi to the hands and other parts of the body thereby allowing the individual to experience energy very early on. Martial artists may want a much harder form of Qigong and not this 'soft' form which seems to be good for all ages. 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful:

A Valuable Guide,
By "charlesfox3" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shaolin Nei Jin Qi Gong: Ancient Healing in the Modern World (Paperback)
I agree with the two most recent reviewers....this is an excellent book for those wishing to learn this ancient and powerful Qi Gong method. I learned the form 8 years ago from a Chinese master in Vancouver, B.C., and have searched for more information since. This book provides comprehensive descriptions keyed to clear photographs showing both how to do the form as well as describing applications. With any Qi Gong form, having an instructor standing in front of you is ideal. However, Peter Fenton does the next best thing for those without this option. I learned key information that my instructor had not provided and I continue use the book as a valuable guide.
