About this product

Product Information

"Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body" introduces the key concepts of chi gung in a manner both accessible and understandable to Westerners. With fascinating insights gained from years of training in Asia as a warrior, healer, and priest, Bruce Frantzis demystifies the concept of "chi," the body's vital energy life force, and shows why this 3000-year-old system of self-healing works. The book provides a set of enjoyable, low impact exercises that readers can learn on their own, including standing chi gung, a core exercise that effectively boosts performance for martial artists, athletes, business people, and others. Body alignments and Taoist breathing, fundamentals that are the foundation of all Taoist energy practices, are also taught, with special alignments that benefit those who must sit for long periods of time. The book also reveals how chi gung can enhance other forms of exercise, from yoga and Pilates to golf and basketball.

  • Lots of great info. Happy I purchased this book.

    This revised edition is great, straightforward and easy to understand. I don't know what the original edition was like, but I can recommend this revised version. Bruce Frantzis has been part of the martial arts scene for a long time. Not one of those boring over the top philosophical, esoteric books that goes back centuries and doesn't get to the point or answer questions. Lots of great info. Illustrated with line drawings. Haven't had a chance to practice the techniques as right now I'm learning a couple of qigong methods, but can't wait to add some of the information for use to my practice.

  • Awesome book - more for the intermediate/advanced crowd - but excellent!

    The book is great, mainly for more advanced folks. It can be used by beginners' for sure, but it might be more in-depth than some beginners would feel comfortable with. The book "The way of energy" is more germane to the beginning crowd. This would be more intermediate/advanced. Excellent reference this. Peace
