Download or read book The Healing Art of Qi Gong written by Master Hong Liu and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2008-12-21 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Liu describes how he risked his life under the Communist regime in China to study Qi Gong and meet secretly with a master who lived in a mountain cave above Shanghai. If there is one concept that comes up in all forms of Chinese medicine it is that of Qi, or vital energy. Qi is the very backbone of the Chinese healing arts. It refers to the energy of the universe that is channeled from nature and runs through all of us. To have Qi is to be alive, while to have none is to be dead. Qi Gong relies on the manipulation of this vital energy, and Qi Gong masters can see this energy. This book explores the basics of Qi Gong to create a guide for greater health, the Chinese way.
Download or read book Zhineng Chilel Qigong written by Hou Hee Chan and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master teacher Hou Hee Chan offers a rare insight into the concepts and methods of Zhineng Qigong--introduced to the West as Chilel Qigong by Hou Hee Chan and his brother, Luke Chan, who have both published works on Zhineng Qigong. This book is unique in that it offers exceptional and in-depth explanations of the basic practices of Zhineng Qigong, originally written in Chinese by Dr. Pang Ming, whose extensive writings include a nine-book series on Zhineng Qigong. As Master Chan has observed, no one can translate Dr. Pang's books as they are written; all one can do is interpret them as closely to the original as possible. Combining his understanding of both the theories and methods of Qigong, Master Chan gives us an opportunity to explore the depths of this ancient Chinese tradition and brings Qigong into the 21st century with his interpretations of these methods for a healthy body and a relaxed, clear mind. Relieve the stress of modern life by taking a journey into the practices of Zhineng Qigong! Master Chan's translation of the foundation methods of Zhineng (Chilel) Qigong offers a balanced and informed approach that will appeal to a wide audience of readers. Other books on Qigong are often intended for the specialist with a focus on the martial arts aspects of related practices, but this book is written to introduce the general public to the art of Qigong and to a specific type of Qigong aimed at creating a healthy and vital lifestyle. The standard spelling of Chinese terms (Pinyin) is used for ease in reading and pronouncing Chinese throughout the book. Both Chinese characters and Pinyin are used for technical terms in the main text or when the terms first appear. There is also a helpful glossary for use in finding and understanding terms. This masterful work is divided into three sections: a succinct overview of Zhineng Qigong; an in-depth explanation of the foundation methods of this practice; and a much needed translator's perspective that interprets and illuminates the practice methods based on Master Chan's years of personal experience as a teacher in the U.S. and abroad, and his study in China. Qigong is both an ancient and an evolving art, and this book captures the essence of these qualities through Master Chan's interpretations that help deepen our understanding of this dynamic art form.

Download or read book Qi Gong written by Paul Fraser and published by Aeon Books. This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Qi Gong is seen by many as something mystical or other-worldly, yet, in ancient China, it was considered an internally based technology, accessible to all, offering powerful yet simple techniques to strengthen health and vitality, heal illness, enhance martial power- a path to connect with the realms of Nature and Spirit. All living beings are part of a vast profound Whole, beautifully knit together with inexhaustible vibrant energy called Qi. The cultivation and exploration of Qi deepens and enriches our human experience through awakening and amplifying our own innate capabilities. We are designed to help others heal, communicate with Nature, receive Divine guidance and participate in life enhancing evolution. Accessing these deeper levels of our own humanity may be seen as a two fold path: one consists of forms or routines designed to connect us to the flow of Qi to absorb and direct it, and the other as a quest for virtue through love and kindness. When these outer and inner paths merge, a profound transformation occurs.Qi Gong: Rediscovering Our Humanity offers a remedy for many of today's concerns involving physical health, emotional balance and the nurturing of the planet we inhabit, discussing the nature of Qi, the history of Qi Gong and its influence on medicine, martial arts, and ancient and modern culture. It includes safe, easy to follow instructions with illustrations for three styles of Qi cultivation, suggesting that this concept is much closer to us than we may have thought.

Book excerpt: Beloved Qigong master Robert Peng returns with meditations to empower you to tap into the limitless wisdom contained in your body. “Peace on earth mirrors peace within,” says Robert Peng. Yet when we bring energies of disharmony into our lives—like stress, trauma, and discord—those energies take up residence in our bodies and minds. Feelings of isolation and disconnection, according to Peng, are manifestations of a divided mind. Fortunately, the answer for restoration is all around us in the form of life-giving Qi. With The Way of Virtue, this renowned teacher presents a hands-on guide to Qigong meditations designed to channel healing energy precisely where it’s most needed—and make room for the abundant virtues that naturally arise from a balanced body. Peng expertly describes the nature of the mind and guides you toward the awakening of Spirit, offering the opportunity to cultivate a consistent practice and invite profound changes in well-being. Through his lucid descriptions, along with illustrations and audio guidance, he presents Qigong meditations focused on the organ system and meridian network, as well as healing sounds, paving the way to a deeper connection with one’s spiritual practice. Here you’ll learn which emotions are stored in specific organs, along with practices to draw in Qi to awaken and empower your bodymind. As you engage in these practices, you’ll unleash the virtuous qualities of every internal organ: courage, kindness, resilience, and much more. Building to the final three meditations, you’ll be guided to awaken particular aspects of the mind and their related virtues, including: • The Six Healing Sounds to awaken Higher Mind for goodwill • The Twelve Meridian Empowerment to awaken Pure Mind for benevolence • Huo Lu Gong Spirit Cultivation to awaken Spirit for peace “Our bodies contain the virtues that our world needs,” shares Robert Peng. Meditation is a powerful means to awaken these qualities and harmonize our connection to the world. When suffused with Qi, every cell becomes charged with vitality and benevolence—and you will radiate this nourishing energy wherever you go.
