About the Actor

Master Mantak Chia is Chinese, born in Thailand. He is the direct successor to the teachings of Master Yi Eng, the Taoist White Cloud Hermit. Master Chia has openly brought these teachings to the West, instructing thousands of students a year in the U.S. and Europe. For this work he was named Chi Kung Teacher of the Year at the first International Congress of Chinese Medicine and Chi Kung.

Product Description

Through consistent use of this half-hour video, you will begin to experience more vital health, a more balanced emotional life and a deeper feeling of connection with everything around you. Guided sitting meditation is an energy-enhancing half-hour meditation in which you orbit the healing light (your life-force energy or "chi") up your spine and down the front of your body through specific energy pathways. It is considered to be the foundation of all higher Taoist meditations and practices. This tape guides you in a continuous flow through all the details of the complete seven stage Microcosmic Orbit Meditation taught on the Awaken Healing Light, Instruction and Theory videos. In the course of the meditation you will activate your internal energy, draw on the energy of the Earth and the "chi" of the air, harmonize your sexual energy with your heart energy, connect with the energy of the stars and planets, and circulate all this "chi" through the major energy centers up your spine and down the front of your body. This tape takes you right into the classroom with Masters Mantak and Maneewan Chia at their annual summer retreat. You will follow the same step by step instruction that their students at the retreat receive. This video, shot in a high resolution format, combines rich detail and clear organization to give you a truly complete experience of the teachings.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible quality!, July 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Awaken Healing Light: Guided Sitting Meditation [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Very poor sound and tape quality! The teachings may be helpful but it is very difficult to understand the instructions with the heavy accent of the instructor and the home movie sound and picture quality! My tape was bluish and wobbly at the top inch or two of the screen. Even if that did not appear it is if it is an old video recording of a class demonstration. You may have to watch two or three times to get a few clear sentences. Not worth the effort!

This review is from: Awaken Healing Light: Guided Sitting Meditation [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I, personally, have found it difficult to properly practice Mantak Chia's system using only books. I think the thing that gets me most is the way each part of a technique connects to the next. The transitions have never been terribly clear to me. This video has made the first three quarters of the matching book (about three hundred pages, maybe) fit into two hours. A meditation which originally took me about an hour and a half to practice (by way of looking at illustrations, reading instructions, etc.) now takes about half an hour. So, I have to say, if you're trying to do this without personal guidance, the video is an excellent resource. Oh, and the results from actually doing the practices are spectacular.
