Excellent book to clear meridians, channels and the mind
I personally found this book very good indeed, in fact after practising what he preaches I was acheiving the results I was looking for. I lent the book to my QiGong teacher and never got it back so I'm getting a second copy!

Probably not a book for the faint hearted or easily scared - I had energy moving after just a couple of weeks...right up my leg and down my arm...until I noticed it and then it stopped :-(

Very clearly written and with some great tips on what to do, what not to do and what to expect.

A great introduction to rare information
This is a great insight for anyone interested in the Taoist healing arts by one of the world's foremost contemporary Taoist masters. It is the first book written by Mantak Chia and its aim is to provide information on how to open the microcosmic orbit (MO). The MO is a preliminary exercise for higher Taoist yoga but has considerable healing effects on by its self. I would recommend this method for anyone wishing to embark through a discipline of beneficial meditation. However, the main failing of this book is that the instructions are not always well organised or detailed enough. The reader may be left with some uncertainties. The answer may often be in the text but locating it may not be so easy. In later books Chia's writing style has greatly improved on these points and so I would recommend accompanying this book with some of his other material which involves the MO to get a better feel and understanding for it.

An excellent practical introduction to Taoist Chi Kung
This book has clear easy to follow instructions on the practice of the Microcosmic Orbit, the fundamental meditation technique in Taoist Chi Kung. Mantak Chia was one of the first Taoist masters to impart this Taoist technique to the public. This book has been in print for over 15 years, an attestment to its contents validity and usefullness. I highly reccomend it.
