2.0 out of 5 stars About a great healer, June 30, 2001

By	L. Yuen (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

Master Wang is one of China's great energy healers and a fascinating personality who has visited America for several years to teach Taoist & Tibetan Qigong. I have attended a dozen of his healing workshops and recommended several acupuncture patients to attend, & he gets results. So I would like to give this book high rating but that's not possible. Although it gives basic background and presents some interviews of people who benefit from treatments, it really misses the chance to present either a portrait of a wonderful, fascinating healer or an in-depth examination of an extraordinary healing modality. This is more like an advertising document, descriptions of workshops are lifted from the healing brochure, and most of the details could be heard by anyone who attends a couple of workshops. In a day and age when there exists a substantial body of excellent literature on Qigong, Taoism, Budhhism & Tibetan studies, this book still preaches on the tired theme that the West doesn't understand Eastern philosophy. Still, anyone who reads this is encouraged to attend Master Wang's healings & workshops, and you can easily get your own ideas beyond what is offered here.

3.0 out of 5 stars A worthy testimonial for a skilled Healer. , April 11, 2006

By	David A. Sproat "student of the healing arts" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is more a testimonial to the Tibetan Qigong of Master Zi Sheng Wang than a narrative or biography. If one is considering studying Qigong or seeking relief from a health complication it would be wise to read this book and decide for ones self.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, April 19, 2001

By A Customer

I've gone to one of Master Wang's workshops and find his approach to healing to be unique. This book is not by him, but by a follower, and so doesn't have much theory. Still, it helps explain the experience of being treated by Wang, and how it improves health.
