Product Description

Product Description

By turns suspenseful, philosophical, and humorous, this book chronicles the first seven years of an extraordinary apprenticeship in Toronto between a young man and a celebrated chi kung master from Shanghai. Many astonishing events occurred, such as frequent telepathic exchanges between master and student, the throwing of chi-energy over great distances, and at least one instance of what could be called 'Jedi mind control', right out of the movie "Star Wars".

5.0 out of 5 stars Execeptional , 2 Jul 2007
Meech is a prose stylist and his writing is of the first order. When he writes about his apprenticeship with Dr. Chow, he not only informs, he entertains, and his dry wit is a much needed antidote to the reverential spiritual accounts that populate the marketplace. The book reads like an adventure novel, and I couldn't put it down. The book put me in mind of the Castaneda books and "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior", but I read the book as much for the language as I did for the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book about a qi gong apprentice, 11 May 2008
By stephen Luff (Worthing, Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
I thought I would really enjoy this book and so it proved. Qi Gong can be a bit of a dry subject. Studying Qi Gong is a lot of still postures, and lot of patience cultivating your Qi. One needs a really good reason to do it and some inspiration. Stories like Peter Meech's apprenticeship with his Qi Gong Master is inspiring and motivating. Above all this is very readable. As I said in the beginning I find Qi Gong books quite dry and difficult to bring about self-motivation. Nearly all of them I've been unable to finish. This book for me was a personal account that made it very interesting.

There is no Qi Gong program in here but a lot about Qi Gong, the benefits and the mysterious. If you've read any Carlos Castaneda's books then you'll enjoy this one as well.

I found Meech's Master to be presented as very modest and Peter is also this way. This is a true transmission of knowledge and energy I highly recommend it.
