This small book covering a lot of information on chi flow with descriptions brief and to the point, giving you a step by step guide and explaining many subjects in clear simple terms. Most books tend to over complicate those subjects making them seem unattainable. This is chi flow in action.
This book is design to allow the average person to experience Chi for themselves, this has also been written by the author in his introduction and I cannot see any reason why this cannot be the case. I have seen the same information in other books but must say not in such a simple format,
Depending on the book on Chi, each book covers their own sets of preferred exercises and sometimes this can be daunting, In this case there is not too many exercises and they are relatively easy to follow and practice.
The information in this book apples to TAI CHI and QiGONG. You may also be interested in MEDITATION
