Authentic qi gong as practiced in the Shaolin Temple where this
discipline originated centuries ago
- Reveals the fundamental spiritual principles and includes both a
short and long form of the daily exercises
- Explains the benefits of mastering energy in the body, such as
organ strengthening
- Includes a 53-minute DVD of exercises performed by the author, a
Shaolin monk
The great teacher Bodhidharma is credited with the creation of
Shaolin Temple qi gong and kung fu in the 6th century CE. Motivated
by the terrible physical condition of the monks who spent all their
time meditating or copying scrolls, his two-part system promoted
physical as well as spiritual fitness and became the basis for all
the martial and meditative arts taught in the Shaolin Temple. These
ancient practices increase physical health and vitality, enhance
creativity, and can be practiced well into old age.
Author Shi Xinggui, a Shaolin monk, explains the fundamental
principle of qi gong--the art of mastering energy (qi) and moving
it through the body--and provides clear demonstrations of all the
positions and movements. In order to develop qi attentively, it is
necessary to cultivate the art of slowness in both movement and
breathwork. Shi Xinggui provides both a short form and a long form
of the daily exercises, with lessons on heart centering, organ
strengthening, and balancing the energy using the three
dantians--the three energy centers of the body. A 53-minute DVD of
the exercises performed by the author is also included.
