Root of Chinese Chi Kung: Secrets of Chi Kung Training Book by Dr Yang, Jwing-Ming
Chi is the Chinese word for the natural energy of the universe. Chi Kung is the science of this energy, especially as it circulates in the human body. The Chinese have been studying Chi for over four thousand years, and they have learned how to apply their knowledge of this energy to meditation and to certain types of movement in order to improve physical and mental health and increase longevity. Chi theory and principles, which are similar to those of Indian Yoga, are the root of traditional Chinese and Japanese medical science, especially acupuncture. Chi theory has also led to Chi Kung massage and Chi Kung healing, as well as Japanese Shiatsu massage.
Because the field of Chi Kung is so wide and its theory so profound, it is not well understood, especially in the Western world. This book will explain the historical background of the various Chi Kung categories, clarify the theory and principles, and most important of all, discuss the keys to successful training.
This book will give you a firm foundation in the theory of Chi Kung, and help you to understand Chi Kung publications published by YMAA or any other source. This book is a must for anyone who is interested in pursuing a comprehensive study of Chi Kung.
