Product Description

Review

John Alton spent two years in Beijing studying qigong (chi kung) after many years of martial arts practice in this country, and he was an apt student, becoming fluent in both Chinese and energy healing. Alton now presents what he learned in an outstanding book that demonstrates a deep understanding of the art and conveys, in moving, funny, and astonishing anecdotes, the mind-bending experience of being a foreigner in China. His vivid storytelling carries us along on his journey from nai ve American to seasoned practitioner, sharing with refreshing honesty the steps along the way. - Holly Hammond, "Yoga Journal," September/October 1997, p 124

5.0 out of 5 stars Best treatment of subject yet, 4 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I am typically leery of books on the subject, but this is one book I highly recommend. Alton's treatment is comprehensive and surprisingly frank and impartial. Rather than deride Western science and praise the virtues of Chinese medicine, he takes an honest, open-minded view of both and applies cold logic to arrive at conclusions. In other words, he does not insult the reader's intelligence. The stress of the book is more on the exposition of the theory, rather than a how-to manual. Persons interested in taichi and qigong will find this book very informative, while practitioners will find it inspiring and enriching.
