Book Reviews of Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body: Chi Gung for Lifelong Health (Tao of Energy Enhancement)
Book Review: A great book, but you really need a teacher..
Summary: 3 Stars
There are two main things about this book:
A) It's filled with loads of practical information, and great advice both for martial artists and those who practice Qigong. I found the several chapters on standing meditation (Zhan zhuang) especially enlightening.
B) Much of the book is detailing his main methods of clearing Qi blockages, which are the "swings". The "Swings" would be very difficult to do properly without a qualified instructor, and thus I considered those portions of the book (50% or more) useless.
