Product Information
Throughout history Taoists have promoted the development and restoration of the Three Treasures - body breath and spirit - through the gentle practice of qigong. At the centre of the qigong practice are the Eight Brocades, a series of postures that developed during the 3000-year Taoist quest for longevity and vitality. Now qigong expert Stuart Olson translates into English Master Li Ching-yun's treasured teachings on the Eight Brocades. One of the most famous qigong masters of this century, Master Li Ching-yun is reliably chronicled to have lived more than 250 years during which he practised the Eight Brocades on a daily basis. His longevity and personal endorsements attest to and validate the Eight Brocades as the quintessence of Taoist health and qigong practices. With Master Li Ching-yun's original teachings as a guide Stuart Olson presents an authentic yet accessible approach to this unique practice. Each exercise is accompanied by original text from Master Li step-by-step instructions for each posture illustrations of the positions and insights on theory and practice. * Explains the physical and spiritual benefits of the Eight Brocades and offers step-by-step instructions for this powerful sequence of postures. * 85 illustrations highlight the postures and philosophies. * Author's commentary provides insight and depth to the original translation.Product Identifiers
