Chi Kung Training for Life, Health, and Energy

Wirebound, Chipboard Cover, 130 pp. Over 300 illustrations. This book covers the entire Chi Kung practice of the Wu Style T'ai Chi system as founded and developed by Wu Chuan You and Wu Chian Chuan. The exercises address balance, chi flow, internal strength, posture, and proper breathing to maximize practice. Concepts covered include: gathering, circulating, guiding, balancing, spiraling, blending, synthesizing, and storing of chi (life force). Also covered are shapes for circulating the chi on yin and yang channels associated with the Five Elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. The unique design allows it to "stand up," as it can be folded back, erected, and thereby allow the practitioner(s) to follow along with the individual postures. We kind of think of it as an "easel book." Stands up nice on a desk as a reminder to practice, practice, practice. Makes an excellent companion to the 3 part video series, "Wu Chi Kung" also available at Amazon, as well as a Book and Video combination package at a greater than ten dollar savings!
