Chinese Medical Qigong Therapy Volume 1: Energetic Anatomy and Physiology

by Jerry Alan Johnson

The information contained within the Chinese Medical Qigong A Comprehensive Clinical Text has currently been tripled and reformatted into five exciting new textbooks. The five new Medical Qigong textbooks are composed of both modern and ancient knowledge, graphics, and expanded techniques, guaranteed to fascinate and intrigue the reader. Never before in the history of Chinese Medicine has a textbook series been made available to the public that includes such comprehensive and thorough understandings on ancient Chinese energetic healing techniques. Written by an internationally recognized Grand Master of Martial, Medical, and Spiritual Qigong training, this five textbook series (often referred to as the "Medical Qigong Encyclopedia") provides the first complete explanation of ancient Chinese esoteric theory that has for centuries eluded and confounded the West. This first textbook includes a thorough understanding of the creation and development of the body's energetic fields, ancient metaphysical theories of tissue formation, and the evolution of ancient Chinese energetic medicine. The featured highlights of this clinical textbook - Foundations of Chinese Energetic Medicine - The History of Qigong and Chinese Medicine - Understanding Ancient Chinese Metaphysics - The Energetic Formation of the Universe - Energetic Formation of the Human Body - Energetic Embryological Development - Prenatal and Postnatal Energetic Patterns - Ancient Daoist Archetypes of the Human Soul - The Hun (Ethereal Soul) and Po (Corporeal Soul) - Tissue Formation and Development - The Five Energies of the Human Body - The 12 Chakra Gates and The Three Dantians - The Taiji Pole and Three Dantians - The Eight Extraordinary Vessels - The Six Extraordinary Organs - The 12 Primary Organs, Channels and Collaterals - The Connecting Vessels, Divergent Channels, Muscle and Tendon Channels and Skin Zones - The Body's Energetic Points

Technically did not finish but since this is a textbook, I'm counting it as read. It's very interesting material coming from a Daoist perspective. I can't give it more stars though because there are no formal citations or bibliography. The author will say things like "Researchers have discovered X" or "So-and-so at X university studied Y," and we just have to take his word for it.

I don't think the information in this book is inaccurate though--It largely fits with my previous understanding of both Daoism and Buddhism. It's rather long and at times sort of dry, but textbooks are usually not the most entertaining pieces of literature.
