Review
"Gilles's clear explanations of previously esoteric practices establish an indispensable link between Traditional Oriental Medicine and the modern mind. Thanks to Healing From Within with Chi Nei Tsang, a nearly extinct practice from the Far East has the chance to become an important healing discipline among alternative approaches to conventional medicine."
-Mantak Chia, Director, The International Healing Tao, Thailand

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent information, September 2, 2005

By	William P. Lambert (X'ian, China) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have found "Healing from within with Chi Nei Tsang: Applied Chi Kung in Internal Organs Treatment" to be stacked with relevent information for the practioner and more importantly the beginner. It starts at the basics of the Taoist philosophy towards healing and how the abdomen and five major organs play a vital role. Not only does it give the basic techniques the author also outlines basic Qigong movements and meditations which complement the theory and massage techniques very well. Additionally it provides an overview of what a treatment might be like for the giver and receiver. Be prepared to have patience when learning the techniques and meditations as they cannot be learnt over night. It's not a quick fix but a genuine healing modality.

The applications and theories presented here are good, but a reader may want to read some more basic works first, and gain a little qigong experience in order to truely appreciate it.
