Book Description

November 1, 1996
 
Chi Kung, Chinese for "energy mastery," is an ancient physical discipline that utilizes deliberate movement, slow breathing, mental concentration, and visualizations. The discipline is based on the same energy meridians used in Chinese acupuncture and is fully integrated into the traditional five-element wisdom of Chinese healing. Chi Kung exercises not only promote physical well-being, but transform consciousness by amplifying one's sensitivity to both the natural world and one's own personal potential. With regular practice of no more than 15 to 30 minutes a day, the author shows how we can develop a more sensitive perception of our environment, allowing us to feed our own life energy from the magnetic resonance of the world around us.

The author's simple series of exercises is well within the capability of anyone, regardless of age or physical condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works as a hand book, August 16, 2000
By 
"hyyy" (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chi Kung: The Chinese Art of Mastering Energy (Paperback)
I have read other books on the introductory level about Chi Kung, including the one by Stanley Wilson. This book by Y Requena is so far one of the best. It is well organised and detailised for more in-deepth understanding of Chi Kung. It made sense for the movements I follow through when practicing.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent details, excellent find!, June 5, 2005
By 
This review is from: Chi Kung: The Chinese Art of Mastering Energy (Paperback)
This book goes into very good depth on all of the topics covered. The section on Standing Meditation goes into a much greater level of explanation on what you should do with the various parts of your body to get the most out of the meditation. If you have not discovered Standing Meditation, also known as Zhan Zhuang, you are missing out!! I also highly recommend the "Way of Energy", by Master Lam Kam-Chuen, ISBN 0671736450 as a starting point for Standing Meditation.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best qi gong books I've ever read, February 17, 2002
By 
"greenox" (Seoul Korea (South)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chi Kung: The Chinese Art of Mastering Energy (Paperback)
This book includes two basic forms of qi gong: standing-still qigong and moving qigong. Excellent explanation about the very detailed points of a standing-still qigong "embracing the tree." Also provides, in an efficient manner, the how-to-do of the "8 pieces of brocade" which is a famous moving qigong.
