4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely NOT for beginners this is for serious students, 17 Dec 1998
By A Customer
I have mixed feelings on this book.Firstly,It is my understanding that it was written as a kind of compilation of ancient knowledge,training keys and'secrets'in order to understand the concept of the muscle/tendon changing,brain/bone marrow washing classics.Do not approach this book as a 'how to'.Especially frustrating was the lack of specifics governing the small circulation training which is repeatedly stressed as the premier means to accomplish the higher level chigung practices.In the area of commentary,Dr.Yang provides very intersting transliterations and explantions of chinese writing and idealogy.The pictures remain useful throughout the book and the grand circulation exerices are good and useful and the sexual hormone chigung is extremely informative and usable it would be a good idea for the prospective reader to cross train or learn of other systems before tackling the Yi Gin Ching namely because it is conceptually different than the average chigung book.I applaud Dr.Yang for researching so much and praise his commentary .It is a good and usefulbookprovided you already have a working level of chigung knowledge and practice under your belt

5.0 out of 5 stars A deep voyage into Qigong, 8 May 2001
By A Customer
I agree with the previous review: this is not for beginners. I found this book deep and complicated, and the training is certainly not within the reach of the most common of us. However, not only is it very well written, it offers a wealth of information, which is probably very hard to find from other sources. Master Yang writes clearly and without prejudice, he offers his opinion and interpretations of the ancient classics, translations, illustrations and photographs and the entire book becomes a fluid read from cover to cover. To learn a better base for this book however, do check out "The Root of Chinese Qigong", by the same author, it's especially important because of the small circulation as the previous reader mentioned, as well as other key concepts not presented in this book, since it much more profound and infers you already know something about qigong.
