Book Description
Yi Jin Jing is one of the exercises practiced by many martial arts and health students. For its functions of strengthening muscles and internal organs and improving body functions it has been highly appreciated by many people. Although there have been numerous opinions on the origin of Yi Jin Jing, its effect is widely established. This book focuses on describing and illustrating the movements and contents of Yi Jin Jing with the concept of the twelve meridians of Chinese medicine. It is an attempt to integrate energy and body, soul, spirit through a fusion of the practice of QiGong and the flow of energy in the theories of Chinese medicine (regulation and circulation in the meridians). In addition, this book will briefly illustrate the origin of Yi Jin Jing, the forms of practice of the twelve meridians and their effectiveness in disease prevention. This text describes the theory and training of QiGong to keep the body healthy and improve physical fitness, making a body strong.

The book contains text and illustrations, the steps and breathing methods are clear at a glance as well as the essence of the various movements, the aspects to be noted during practice and special suggestions for the wrong movements are detailed. It allows the reader to immediately master the techniques of the exercises, clearly understand the skill of movement and their effect.

This book provides a breakdown of the entire Nei Gong process, and explains in plain English the philosophy which underpins Nei Gong practice, and which is based on the original teachings of the ancient Daoist priests. The methodology of Sung breathing, an advanced meditative practice which has until now been reserved for 'inner-door' students is described, and the book contains an entire set of Qigong exercises accompanied by instructional photographs and drawings. This book will be of interest to all practitioners of Qi Gong, martial arts and meditation, and will be a rewarding read for anyone interested in Eastern philosophy.
Cultivating Qi
Author: Jun Wang, Ph.D., C.M.D.Publisher: North Atlantic Books
ISBN: 1556439547
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
While Chinese acupuncture and herbalism enjoy widespread popularity in the West, traditional Chinese exercise techniques—with the exception of qi gong—have rarely been taught outside China. This book is designed to change that. Written by Jun Wang, a doctor of Chinese medicine, Cultivating Qi draws on classic Chinese texts to introduce these body-mind healing exercises to Western readers. In simple, accessible language, Wang presents three specific qi exercises: the Yijin Jing, a popular form of calisthenics associated with both Chinese Buddhist and Daoist traditions; Taiji Neigong, a series of 34 movements adapted from the Wu-Hao style of Taiji Quan; and the “Six Healing Breaths,” which combines spoken sounds with movements associated with the six major vital organs of Chinese medicine. Written for beginning students of Chinese medicine as well as laypersons, healthcare practitioners, and martial artists, Cultivating Qi includes clear explanations of Chinese medical terminology—and provides the original Chinese characters for more advanced students—as well as step-by-step instruction in the three exercises. Accompanied by 100 photographs, these exercises are suitable for all ages and activity levels, and most of them take no more than 10 to 15 minutes to complete.

The "Purification of the marrow" is a code of internal improvement, which has not been passed down to the world.
