The form of Chinese meditation called Qigong is based upon the fundamental lessons of internal Elixir Qigong - and the first step in learning this process is to absorb Embryonic Breathing theory and techniques which were long kept secret within Buddhist monasteries. Dr. Yang translates and discusses most of the documents available on this arcane process, providing a summary of the practice and an important analysis of the breathing technique which is essential to the study of this ancient Buddhist discipline. An essential key to understanding. From Amazon.com
"Pay attention to your breath". So often, this is the only guidance given regarding the importance of the breath during relaxation and meditation practice, especially in the West. In his new book, Qigong Meditation, Dr. Yang explodes this sentence, as he instructs Embryonic Breathing, the missing key to modern mediation practice. These Qigong breathing techniques and Qi energy circulation practices are an essential part of sitting meditation, as it was taught in ancient times. This important information was passed down by Buddha, and by subsequent masters over the centuries, but has nearly been lost due to language barriers and the difficulty of understanding the deeper aspects of the training. When mediation travelled out of India and China, and especially as it made it's way into western societies, this essential key has often been neglected, and new schools of thought developed. Though some people have had success in re-opening the third eye and attaining enlightentment with other methods, many have been Qigong masters. Thank you Master Yang for translating most of the available ancient documents on this training - their profound content is now available to so many more people, and your excellent commentary is invaluable. I share your hope that more people strive to continue this research so that we may gain a modern scientific understanding of the Human Body, Mind and Spirit, and of the universe we inhabit. As the word 'enlightenment' gets thrown around more and more casually in the West, it is important that we truly seek the roots of this precious learning, which has been passed down to all of us, with humble and open minds.
