If you really want to experience Chi, buy this book!!!,

This review is from: The Way of Power: Reaching Full Strength in Body and Mind (Paperback)
I have ready quite a few Chi Kung books over the years and I've never experienced 'The Chi' with any of them. The great beauty of 'The Way of Power' apart from being a very attractive book, is its deceptively simple techniques ACTUALLY WORK. The simple illustrations of the postures are matched by simple straight foward instructions and Master Lam's writing is intelligent and concise throughout this book unlike a lot of Chi Kung books which are incredibly, uneccessarily verbose. The average, unenlightened western mind when looking at this book, will ask - "How can standing like a tree possibly do anything at all?". It's a fair response and I empathise with people reacting in this way: This is exactly what I thought myself. However, after looking at all the old photographs in the book of ancient masters standing like a tree, I thought to myself - "Would these highly educated and enlightened old men stand there like a tree if it didn't achieve anything?". Obviously they wouldn't. So determined to find out what all these old guys were/are experiencing, I just followed along with Master Lam's very clear, concise instructions. For the first couple of minutes - nothing. Then, I began to feel a slight tingling senation in my fingers and and hands, then, a few minutes later, - BINGO, EUREKA. It was like I had struck GOLD - amazing. I could feel this huge ball of Chi energy in front of my stomach. It was/is very real. Chi is invisible to the naked eye, but utterly and totally tangible to the sensory organs in the hands. This is the book I've had my own personal Chi breakthrough with. I had always believed Chi existed but I doubted whether or not I would ever experience it for myself. Other books had led me to believe that I would have to engage in all sorts of bizarre rituals for years and years before I would experience Chi. This is total and utter nonsense. If an average person with an open mind(This is very important) read this book and followed along with the instructions which includes being relaxed and patient, then I would very surprised if they didn't experience Chi for themselves. If you're new to Chi Kung like I am and you're wondering what all this Chi business is about, then buy this book. If you follow the instructions to the letter, you WILL experience Chi for yourself within about 5 -10 minutes not years!!!
