Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming, president of Yang's Martial Arts Association"Having met many illuminating master teachers in the United States and in China, it is clear to me that Mantak Chia's contribution to the Qi (Chi) cultivation arts is no less than remarkable."Roger Jahnke, OMD, author of The Healer Within and The Healing Promise of Qi and director of the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai ChiTaoists believe in an underlying unity that permeates the universe and intimately binds all things. Taoist Cosmic Healing presents chi kung techniques that develop and strengthen awareness of the forces and energetic principles of the universe and the earthly six directions, allowing the reader to draw upon these forces for healing themselves and others.Taoist Cosmic Healing teaches the reader how to use the major acupuncture points in the hands to activate, open, and balance the chi meridians throughout the body. This practice allows the student to detoxify and rejuvenate the major organ systems and, when combined with specific body positions and the chi kung stance, to heal others. Through Mantak Chia's profound understanding of the ancient esoteric science of guiding chi energy, students can learn how to harness the astral energies of specific stars.Master Chia also explains the important role that compassion and positive energy play in enhancing one's ability to heal. He presents for the first time in the West the details of chi kung color therapy, a powerful tool for activating and strengthening the immune system.A student of several Taoistmasters, Mantak Chia developed the Universal Tao System in 1979 and has taught tens of thousands of students from all over the world. He tours the United States annually, giving workshops and lectures. He is the director of the Universal Tao Center located at the Tao Garden Health Resort and Training Center in northern Thailand and is the author of nineteen books, including the bestselling The Multi-Orgasmic Man.
