Zhong Yuan Qigong – The Second Stage of Ascent: Quietness

The book Zhong Yuan Qigong – The Second Stage of Ascent: Stillness follows on from Zhong Yuan Qigong – The First Stage of Ascent: Relaxation, further developing the theory and practice described therein. It explains philosophical concepts such as Tao, Te, Wu and karma, discusses obstacles to development, and includes chapters on diagnostics and treatment, and diet. The backbone of the entire book is a series of practical exercises. These not only improve health and physical fitness, but also contribute to psychological balance and spiritual development. New features in the second level include, for example, the four methods of skin breathing, working with the yin-yang ball, the Chan-cuo exercise, and a modification of the Big Tree exercise.
