Exercises to Awaken the Energy Within
Mantak Chia and Lee Holden
Simple Chi Kung distills ancient wisdom into a modern everyday energy-enlivening practice. Chi Kung, which literally means "energy work or expertise", is a system of cultivating life force energy for health, vitality, emotional balance, and spiritual awareness.
In the book you will learn a series of simple exercises which can be used as warm ups for higher Chi Kung practices. When the practitioner does these exercises, the body is prepared to handle the energy it is about to absorb and the circulation of Chi and blood throughout the body is facilitated. The exercises are easy to perform and are designed to loosen the joints and relax the muscles to improve the flow of Chi and blocked. Every part of the body is given attention, and the exercises start with generalized :bouncing to shake joints loose and open them.
Based on the fundamental principles of Taoism, chi kung mirrors the movements of nature and helps practitioners connect to their own inner "flow". Chi Kung not only works with the internal energy of the body, but also, enhances the connection to nature and the universe.
Chi Kung is treasured both for its healing power and its capability for preventing disease. Simple chi Kung will teach you how to tap into your own healing potential so that you stay healthy and full of vital energy. The joints of the knees, hips and spine are worked, and these exercises are followed by breathing routines, then stretching, twisting and rotation exercises working on the tendons and ligaments in different parts of the body.
