Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good, strong emphasis on the mind
I had purchased this book based on an Amazon.com user's recommendation. I'm quite glad I did.
Most books on chi (by whatever name) tend to make one of two errors. One error, found most commonly in new-age or modern "magick" books, is a failure to distinguish between imagination and real chi flow. The reader is told to imagine golden or white light entering one's body and filling it with divine goodness, or to imagine the chakras glowing or moving in some way. Some even claim that ...

Rating: - Extremely satisfied
I have read and reread and then underlined the important parts for me. I have learned a lot from this book as well as from others since I have not had the opportunity to find a master to learn from yet.
If there were more pictures (drawings) to really define the precise sequences it would be very helpful but the whole idea is to learn from a master in person. I have both of his books and used one to support the other and help me understand and follow certain exercises.

Rating: - A Good Buy
Master Wong Kiew Kit is a very good author and really knows what he is talking about. I have three of his publications and they are all excellent. He doesn't cloud his books with "junk" relating to the subject matter. A very good purchase. If you enjoy his writing style and happen to be a Buddhist, his publication "Sukhavati Western Paradise Going to Heaven as Taught by the Buddha" is one of my favorite books.
Rating:  - Reading & Reading books not for Chi kung
The only way to learn tai ji quan is being with a master, looking him doing the form. Doing all the parts that conform tai ji included chi kung but with a teacher cause is the best option to feel the art. I think reading books are not the solution so the best is empty your mind of reading and reading and do the task with someone who knows something about it, not necessary a master, all we can learn with others...
Rating:  - Not a bad starting point for beginners...
I disagree with the assessment made by 'Carlos'. I would not rate this book as among the top Chi Gong books but it is sufficiently detailed to give you an idea of Chi Gong and how to breath, perform the exercises, etc. There is little that is 'cultish' about this book. In fact, Mr. Wong de-emphasizes any spiritual aspects of Chi Gong and invites the reader to appreciate the physical benefits of Chi Gong. That said, it is still best to learn and practice Chi Gong with a qualified instructor and in ... Read More
