ki, chi, prana foundation, must have for serious folks

[Danran]

if your curious about energy, get the book Tai chi Qi and Jin by stuart Olson. it's the chinese bible to energy training.you can always read the chinese original but i can't read chinese so i'm glad someone qualified translated it. all tai chi comes from this foundation. it trumps all other energy book out there. no fluff. you'll understand everything. no faith approach. great investment. it'll also help you weed out all the nonsense about energy out there and save you time and money. if you ever want the benefits of tai chi without the 10-20 yrs of practice, start here. tai chi without the energy aspects is just physical exercise.

I would like to buy this book but can some one give me a review before I can buy it? I have been doing chi kung for many years and I love it

check out the table of contents and you get idea of the book. my first post tells it like it is. this is the best book on chi kung. it's also a how to book. if you follow the principles then you will improve your skills. this is the book I go to for review. it trumps all the teachers out there as this is their source where they come to for foundation. this book is the source of all chi kung. of course they read the chinese version. it's worth the investment. most teachers aren't real and they waste your time which cost you more then the book. and the person who translated the book learned from one of the masters that past away. he has credibility. you can go to my teacher to learn through dvd but it cost alot and is worth it if you apply it daily. chikung.com this book is a great to have, better than any book on this subject out there. And the system you learn don't take that long. it's a short but powerful practice style.
this book will give you the strong foundation you need to do chi healing and many other health benefits. I give it a rating above 5 out of 5.

Thank you, Sillypup. I have requested this book as a Christmas present and it's on its way! We celebrate a family Christmas at Thanksgiving when most of us get together. Then another Christmas with friends in December. It takes the load off of trying to celebrate with everyone at once! Can't wait to see this book...

Just remember you have to do that actual practice. most people learn the knowledge and think they know it all without the actual experience.

I'm at a point where I can feel vibrations of energy moving and heat movement in a line flow like a flow of water through a small tube. it goes on and off more often now. I guess i'm advancing level and changes are being made to my body. the body go through many phases and progression depending on one's practice. to master the internal arts or chi healing one have to master letting go, relaxation of muscles and no thought. too much thinking will slow down progress. you also have to do some sort of muscle fitness exercise to strengthen the muscles, tendons and ligaments so that energy can be supported. silk reeling and rotations of joints helps. they have to be open and muscles relax for energy to move. that is one reason people can't do internal healing or any energy healing. they are not relax totally. they may feel they doing some healing but there are not. being sensitive to energy don't mean you are using chi to heal. the energy is real. you feel it like you feel water. it's concrete. not some warm feeling or body heat. you feel vibrations too. hot sensation is very refine and distinct as well as cold energy. it's not general heat. you can actually describe it for real not like other energy systems out there that describe it as tingling sensations or warm/hot temp. the heat people feel in reiki or other systems is the aura and 2 body fusing together, it don't mean energy work is being done like chi healing. those just help balance energy body but not refine skill of actual energy projection. Just letting you know that energy is concrete like water feeling not some iffy description most system give. when you get to advance level you'll know.
