Product Description
Review
"In this beautiful book, Master Zhongxian Wu communicates to us his great understanding of and experience with Qigong - not as a mere technique but as a perspective on life itself. He presents this material in a timeless way that engenders open awareness and ease of being in the reader. I recommend this book to all practitioners who have a serious interest in the deeper traditions of Chinese Medicine." Lonny S. Jarrett, author of Nourishing Destiny and The Clinical Practice of Chinese Medicine "Provides a fascinating glimpse into the correlative and symbolic thinking of a traditionally trained Qigong master. The book weaves a fabric rich in traditional stories, concepts, and terms, applied in a variegated pattern to the complexities of modern life." Livia Kohn, Professor of Religion and East Asian Studies, Boston University, author of Daoism and Chinese Culture and Chinese Mysticism "A remarkable blend of interesting scholarship, valuable healing practices, and a gateway into the deep authentic tradition of Chinese Shamanism and the internal martial arts. It would take the journey of a lifetime in China to find such teachings and sincerity." Michael Mayer, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, Qigong teacher and author of Secrets to Living Younger Longer: The Self-Healing path of Qigong Standing Meditation and Tai Chi "This lovely book explores the symbolism, numerology, and theory of Chinese Shamanic Qigong in a way that will expand the horizons of both Qigong beginners and long-time practitioners alike." Dennis Lewis, author of The Tao of Natural Breathing and Free Your Breath, Free Your Life"

This is a fantastric book BUT be warned its not for the novice and is realy very very heavy going, the author delves right into the meaning of so many aspects of the Chinese language and writing system that the book becomes more of a drugery to read than an enjoyment. that aside it does give a very very deep understanding of the subject and all its aspects and the excercises are very well explained and the photography is first class!. My advice if you buy this book it may take about a month to read bit its worth the effort in the end.
