<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Sitting Meditation is becoming more and more popular as people realize that finding their inner self brings health, happiness and clear meaning to one's own life. Chinese Qigong has a rich theoretical foundation for meditation training known as Small Circulation where the body's energy is consciously circulated on energetic pathways. This book describes the theory and presents a detailed practice routine for Small Circulation and Internal Elixir Qigong.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Small Circulation, or the Microcosmic Orbit, is the practice of circulating energy, within the human body, Qi, through the two main pathways, or vessels of the body. This practice is considered to be the foundation of Internal Elixir Qigong, and was a fundamental step on the path of meditation training in ancient times. Over the centuries, this practice has slowly been lost from many meditation traditions, and its importance has been forgotten.</p> <p>Small Circulation regulates the Qi circulating in the Twelve Primary Qi channels, making it abundant throughout the entire body, which has been known for centuries for promoting health and longevity. This is also the foundation of Muscle/Tendon Changing Qigong (Yi Jin), which deeply conditions and strengthens the body. It is advised that you begin your meditation training by practicing Embryonic Breathing, which will help you to establish your central energy system, and to conserve and store this energy to abundant levels. Building on this foundation, Small Circulation is the next required stage of meditation training. Ultimately, one then practices Grand Circulation Meditation, which circulates Qi everywhere in the body and exchanges it with partners and the surrounding environment. Its purpose is to open the third eye and reunite the human spirit with the spirit of nature.</p> <p>This book contains translation and analysis of many ancient documents used to transmit Small Circulation and Internal Elixir cultivation to future generations, and offers modern scientific explanation for learning and training safely. Though meditation is popular today for relaxation and general health, the ultimate goal of this training, in both Daoism (Taoism) and Buddhism, is spiritual enlightenment.</p> <ul> <li>Small Circulation Meditation builds the body from weak to strong and trains the mind to be calm and focused.</li> <li>Dr. Yang presents a modern method for learning safely.</li> <li>Includes scientific analysis, translation and commentary of ancient documents, and a summary of the practice methods.</li> </ul><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The author, a physicist and engineer, is undoubtedly the most knowledgeable expert on Chinese martial arts and internal energy systems in the Western world. In this incredibly well-illustrated and documented tome on qigong (chi kung) meditation, Dr. Yang provides in-depth information as to what internal energy is, how it works, how to safely develop it, and its importance to health. In this reviewer's experience with the fighting arts for over fifty years, this is absolutely the best, most complete book on the subject I have seen. Dr. Yang should be considered a national treasure by both China and the US. No one else has the breadth or depth of his knowledge, the scientific understanding of it, and the ability to explain its innermost secrets while transcending an allegorical Oriental knowledge base to a scientific Western one. We rated this book the highest five hearts score."--Bob Spear "Heartland Reviews "<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming is a renowned author and teacher of Chinese martial arts and Qigong.
