Product Description
For centuries, the Chinese exercise system called Chi Kung has been shrouded in secrecy. The Way of Energy is the first comprehensive guide to the most powerful form of Chi Kung ever developed -- "standing like a tree".
A gentle, yet profoundly beneficial form of exercise, which requires very little movement, this form of Chi Kung unlocks deep reserves of energy builds internal stamina, strengthens immunity, relieves chronic illness, and promotes the natural regeneration of the nervous system.
Using step-by-step instructions and more than 100 drawings and full-color photographs, The Way of Energy tells how to:

* combat stress by practicing Chi Kung while standing, sitting, working, playing, and even sleeping
* prevent and treat a wide range of common ailments
Continuing our best-selling series of books for mind and body which includes The Sivananda Companion to Yoga, The Dance Workshop, and The Book of Stress Survival, The Way of Energy will help you achieve physical fitness, mental clarity, and a profound inner strength and vitality.

This book is a MUST for those wishing to develop CHI,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Way of Energy: Mastering the Chinese Art of Internal Strength with Chi Kung Exercise (Paperback)
When I first started reading this book, I couldn't believe the easy methods portrayed by Master Lam. Master Lam has included excellent technical drawings, expected effects and results, and even a guide to what might happen over the first six weeks of training. I find the exercises extremely simple and relaxing, while at the same time, I know I am building up my internal stamina(chi), as well as my mental control. You really notice the effects within the first week, and I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a more energetic body and mind.

Don't be fooled.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Way of Energy: Mastering the Chinese Art of Internal Strength with Chi Kung Exercise (Paperback)
The exercises in this book look so simple, that they can't possibly be effective - WRONG! Having practised Qigong and TaiChi for several years now, this is one technique that has definitely worked for me - I have a lot more energy and my immune system is stronger than ever. But to get results - you have to practice regulary/daily. I'm just as guilty sometimes, but believe me, try this daily for a couple of months and you'll be sold. But remember that to learn properly you should find yourself a good teacher. Otherwise it's like learning to ride a bike from a book...but a great introduction and you'll have those stabilers off your bike in no time!

An excellent introduction to Chi Gung - invaluable,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Way of Energy: Mastering the Chinese Art of Internal Strength with Chi Kung Exercise (Paperback)
One of the most pervasive systems of chi gung as taught on the Chinese mainland. Finally presented in plain, easy to understand and follow english, this is, of all the books I have accumulated on chi gung, undoubtedly the most thorough, well presented and, most importantly, easily learned. An essential purchase for those who want an introduction to this fascinating art, and a worthy addition to the seasoned practioners bookshelf.
