Book Reviews of The Taoist Soul Body: Harnessing the Power of Kan and Li
Book Review: Interesting Read, Could Be Better
Summary: 3 Stars
While it can not be said that Mantak Chia's Qi Gong will not get you results, I still find myself questioning some of the material. It's true that each teacher/author has a different method for presenting information. Still, I find myself a bit put off by all the materials jumbled together with new-agey theories, and pseudo-science.
Mantak Chia has a penchant for colorful diagrams of the human body, DNA strands, and various other things he tries to incorporate into this text, to explain his many many theories. There are a lot of sections which in my opinion could have been skipped in favor of simple, concise, clearly defined set of instructions.
It also seems that in order to get the full benefit from this book, you need to be familiar with other Taoist Qi Gong practices outlined in his other books. The descriptions for this set of exercises can be vague, and lack a clearly defined structure. This book seems more like a general overview of the practice rather than an actual set of instructions. Unless you are a fan of Mantak Chia, and are already familiar with his writing style, you might be better off looking for another source for Taoist Qi Gong/ meditation.
