Qi gong / Chikung

[mig]

Any references of a good book both in English or Chinese you can recommend? I have browsed some and was not really what I needed in terms of more in depth understanding.
Also any references about the sounds you utter using qigong techniques.

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Mig

this is my teacher's book; it's not your standard, run-of-the-mill take on qigong, but it does go "in depth" in a somewhat different way; it also focuses on six healing sounds, which may be useful to u;

I have to strongly disagree!

I would be embarrassed, were I he, for writing such a short review!:mad:

I am considering writing a review of his review, however!:p

[Foiling Fist]

The book Axe Hand; Hsing-i & Internal Strength Workout,
is Traditional Chinese Internal Martial Arts with many methods for developing
internal energy which have never been published before. Comments and focus
of practice help with one’s own level of development, giving training insight
into the internals, never articulated before.

The internal energy focus of the book has many paths: hard and soft style Qigong,
static and moving postures. Calming emphasis in Qi methods for energy pooling
and meridian circulation. Quick projection of explosive Fa Jing in health or attack;
as is used in Dim Mak and healing hands.

Wrist and fore-arm stretches to help energy flow:
these can help with tendonitis, typing hands, carp-tunnel, and muscle knots;
that will help the energy flow through your wrists,
preventing injury and learning wrist locks as well as
teaching grappling seizures and locks,
and will help you transfer it more effectively;

Progress, consciousness, and power are all tested objectively in meditation,
Qigong, martial drills, as well as in-animate objects.
Five move Tai Chi form, Hsing I Five Elements.

Standing Pole (Embrace the Moon or Hold the Ball)
shifting the water and rising-expanding/sinking-contracting;
Fore-arm Throw double set, dynamic drill, adjusting moving root,
responsive blocking enabling the same move for offence and defense,
center of Qi as it moves through oneself and
the center between two people;
Hsing-i San Ti: standing and moving for Qi and Fa Jing;

Workout book contains many everyday methods for internals, meditations, rooting, exercises, tests and self adjustments.

Good for all backgrounds since the essence is emphasized, rather than a
particular language; although words are used, it is more what is between the words.
Instruction goes from the individual’s known, to his related unknown.
Taught with the common ground of the 'shared lived experience' .

Internal means independent thought rather than compliance to a doctrine,
having it make sense to you, in your own way: this is truly internal
since its intrinsic nature is your soul.

Common theme with other energy work: of removing blocks through meditation,
stretching, and exercise. Traditional development of the energy and awareness
before the technique as is the case in many ancient traditions.

Developing and practicing the 'universal' of the Qigong, rather than the particular
application. Plato talks about universal concepts such as what is in common
with all chairs to make them a chair.

Some Qigong very Yang, and will heat palms, the Yang Qigong methods will
not only heat the practitioner, but the entire room.
