Through clear illustrations and detailed instruction, you’ll learn how to improve energy, decrease stress, fight illness, and increase your overall fitness through techniques designed to stimulate the internal flow of chi.
In addition to richly illustrated, full-color drawings that demonstrate each position and movement, Chi Kung: Way of Power offers methods for improving your focus, breathing, and creativity based on the Five Energies System of Chinese philosophy. Whether you’re a student of tai chi, chi kung, or other oriental healing arts, you’ll gain new insights based on this approach, which emphasizes the connection between the mind and body and the energy of the environment.
