This is another fascinating book which explores qigong practices. What you'll get with this book for the most part is a lot of theory and a few exercises. The author does a good job laying out the theory of marrow breathing and other practices that can be used to achieve a deeper connection with the body, while also rejuvenating your youth. If you're not a practitioner of qigong most of this will go over your head and even if you are you may need to devote some time to taking the theory and turning it into practical practice, but this is invaluable resource to have.

Stupendo, da tenere sempre a portata di mano. Molto meglio delle aspettative, Yang Jwing-Ming ha davvero talento a divulgare questa antica sapienza e con estrema umiltà. Stra consigliato a chiunque volesse approfondire Yi Jin Jing e Xi Sui Jing. Per quest'ultimo, avverto che le tecniche taoiste esterne (Wai Dan) sono prettamente maschili.
