Qigong Empowerment: A Guide to Medical, Taoist, Buddhist and Wushu Energy Cultivation

This is a first class reference book and guide to 5 styles of Qigong. it is well written with photos and useful diagrams showing all the energy points and channels connections between them. As a student of Qigong for over 22 years I find this book extremely useful.It is a good idea to read the forwards preface and first couple of chapters before dipping into the book.

Excellent

Excellent in depth description of qigong from different perspectives. With respect perhaps not best suited for absolute beginners. Highly recommended though

very interesting book have to read it in small dose,s so much imformation to absorve

Brilliant book on Qigong..this is a must have for all practitioners of qigong.

This book is very detailed, it is fundamental for everybody who practise Qigong.

Well composed with practical diagrams, this is a great book for all interested in the art and culture within qigong.

everything went smoothly, thanks.

I have owned this book since 2002. It one one of a few books on Qigong I have and read. After so many years of working with Qigong and more than a single school I still read this book every few years. Now I am practicing Dayan Qigong otherwise known as Wild Goose. Which is one of the oldest family schools of Qigong. I find correlation in this book to some moves in Dayan. Much of the breathing exercises are known in other schools not just Qigong. But this book is a good overview and some clear and easy moves with great explanation on what Qigong is and can do for you. If your looking for information or indepth on one style this is not the book. In that case look for a teacher in that school trained in that style. This is a good start and refresher on breathing and meditation moves and introduction to a few common styles. It does explain the 3 families of Qigong well martial, medical and spiritual. Good book to start and help your initial search into Qigong. It will give you direction to go further plus give the basics till then.

If you are looking to learn Qigong, this book is where you need to start. I was blown away with the extent of the content and the easy manner it was written in, makes it very easy for the beginner to understand. Highly recommend this book!...

Master Liang is a serious master and an excellent teacher: all the books of his that I’ve read are clear and straightforward. This book is clear and practical, and at the same time has deep explanations about theory. I think it is one of the best on this argument.

A must have -and must read- for every Qigong practitioner.Very profitable also, in my opinion, for the individual with a drive for freedom and happiness, intimate fulfillment, one willing to feel and live the energy (Qi).The authors explains in a direct, simple yet profound and detailed way the different methods of chinese energy cultivation, linking it with its main apects :-health and healing, longevity, youth conservation, body rejuvenation-cosmic unification, internal reflection, growing in Virtue, Daoism-extrasensory perception, esoteric buddhism-superior physical abilities -martial art WushuReading this book, as intended by the authors, feels like discovering a culture along with a teaching, unveiling a testimony as well as an instruction manuel.I like the fact that the authors emphasize the individual perfectionment of the being as the core and the aim of Qigong.This is not merely about energy, it is about happiness in self-evolution, self-improvement through work, consistancy, and good will.I find myself moved by the humility of those men who present us such a powerful tool for perfection, bearing in mind they are way further advanced on the road of energy mastering than the vast majority of us.You can feel that their intention behind releasing those teachings is simple : to give as many people as possible the opportunity, if one works properly, to reach happiness, fulfillment and peace through it, in order to be in harmony all together, thus promoting a better world.Believe me when I say that this book is very valuable for its extensive content : it is an amazing book, and what makes it a true wonder is the quality of the authors. There is really a transmission of knowledge occuring there, if you read it with an open mind and heart, along with the will to dedicate yourself to the task.Much gratitude to Master Shou-Yu Liang and Mr Wen-Ching Wu, for giving us this wonderful teaching, this testimony on the efficiency of Qigong.Merci au Maître Shou-Yu Liang et à Mr Wen-Ching Wu pour cet ouvrage remarquable en tous points.

The best book you would ever purchase on Qi gong. The exercises, explanations and pics are simple enough to practice. At this price, for somebody like me who have no access to a real teacher, things cannot get any better. Just go for it. You won't regret.
