Awaken Healing Energy Through The Tao: The Taoist Secret of Circulating Internal Power
Reviews (85)
Mantak Chia rocks!!
After practicing other forms of esoteric energy from other teachers, I began to have serious headaches from massive pressure in my head and my chest/heart were giving me some very worrisome trouble. Mantak Chia explains that you cannot leave the energy in the upper body when you finish an exercise but must move it back to the tan tian. Interesting. No other teacher had told me that. Some teachers even say that the goal is to get the energy up and then leave it up. Thankfully, Mr Chia also explained how to correct the problem. I followed his instructions and within a few days my head pressure was gone and within a week my chest and heart were returning to normal. Mantak Chia is the best teacher of moving energy around in your body. His methods work. His safety tips work. His healing tips work. This is the beginning book for his system. You'll need this one before moving on to Iron Shirt and any of the others. Even if you are currently ready for the higher forms, I'd recommend a quick run through this book because his warnings are real and his solutions work. Moving the energy is possible and you might as well learn to do it correctly. Mantak Chia will tell you how. So, move that energy and heal yourself! Follow the directions of Mantak Chia and you'll get better and better. Just remember to heed his warnings because he's right, leaving the energy in the up position is not a good thing! The two exercises in this book are foundational and fundamental. You're going to need them if you want to move on to other levels. They also stand alone and work wonderfully if these are the only two exercises that you ever learn. Great book! I shudder to think were I'd be if I hadn't found it.
I love this book
I love this book. You must practice tho. The changes are incredible. At first your body will react weird pains, vibrations, stings, just like the book explains. But the rewards are amazing, more focus, I used to get back pains now I dont, my posture has gotten better without my conscious awareness, my mind and emotions are calmer. It's an amazing practice and only the beginning. I have been practicing for about 3 weeks. I do it 2 times minimum a day I genuinely enjoy it.
Great introduction
This is a great introduction to Mantak Chia's books. The next books to read are Inner Smile, Six Healing Sounds, and Chi Self Massage for learning more.
I love how the author(s) explain the primary difference between Taoist ...
I love how the author(s) explain the primary difference between Taoist meditation (as the circulation of energy) and the Buddhist version (directing energy upward in an effort to transcend the limitations of humanity and merge with divinity. Taoism doesn't seek to meld (read "lose") one's individuality in divinity, but seeks to preserve the individual and the individual's energy. The lessons on how to circulate chi are very well explained. There is a final chapter giving a sneak preview of what's to come once one has completed the microcosmic orbit--the central focus of the book. Very exciting stuff.
Key book for spiritual seekers
I think this is a must-have for any spiritual seeker or energy practitioner. I do love Mantak Chia and his work (have several of his books for 20 years now). This is one of his first...you can tell he was still honing his English writing skills, as a few things could have been explained better (I was able to figure out what he means by cross-referencing to other books of his). Would love to see an updated version! Still, I think it's a key book to have! Also, in re-acquainting myself with a few of the exercises, they are great for relaxation and sleeping well.
Worthless mumble jumble
This is my second Mantak Chia book...and it now resides in the trash can. I have practiced Tai Chi for a number of years and recently have focused on Qi Gong practices. After reading all the five-star reviews I thought this author would be worth the reading. Save yourself time and money...just skip this author and this book.
Not good, too complex
Why these practices are weak? To complicated His understanding seems a bit shallow lol He puts way too much emphasis on sex as if it ACTUALLY matters Too long for our generation to be honest we are fast learners there are better techniques find them this probably is not that I will be looking to sell the book
Chia Power At Its Best!
My master. This book along with a workshop of his I attended in 1983 in NYC elevated him to that level. And still his best book.
Dangerous, powerful directions
This book is Frank and to the point. The author pulls no punches. If you follow the directions and don’t overthink it, you will get to where he guides you. The only reason this is not a five star review is that once you get there, you may not like what you have opened yourself up to.
An Important Book
I have attended Master Mantak Chia's courses like "Iron shirt ,Dien Tian Qi gong,and others",but have skipped the very first part of the course,which was "Opening the small circulation and the macro cosmic orbit..". When i could not succeed to feel ,at the class ,the energy,which the others where feeling,i finally understood that ,because i have skipped the first part of the course,and jumped to all the others,the reason why i could not feel some of the energy. This book is a must ,and it is the base for all the teachings of Master Mantak. It will save time,and will make one achieve to reach ,in a short time ,to open the small circulation..and it is easily explained.
