Book Description
Without knowing what they are doing, would-be meditators often find it difficult to sit still for even five minutes. On the other hand, experienced meditators go about their business directly and purposefully. In this classic work, teacher Justin F. Stone presents easy-to-follow instructions for many common forms of meditation, including Zazen (Zen Meditation), Japa (one of the oldest spiritual practices in India), Satipatthana (Mindfulness), Nei Kung (Buddhist Meditation), and Tibetan meditations.

Book Description
Drastically Upgrade Your Internal Body... More Effective Than Yoga, Exercise, QiGong, Taichi, Weights, Meditation, Hypnosis... A Monk's Quest for Enlightenment There was a Monk hoping to reach enlightenment (he was already close) who also heard about the Walking Meditation and is ready to start. He set up a pole that span across a temple and hooked his hair onto the pole. He would then walk back and forth within the temple and would not be able to lie down or sit down. When he got sleepy, he would nap only a little by resting against the walls of the temple. A Devotion Beyond Measure He did this for 30 continuous days. During the process, his legs and feet swelled beyond imagination. Puss and blood started to come out from lumps on the swollen feet and legs. No doubt it was painful. But people from the ancient times had a simple mind and their drive to achieve enlightenment was none like others. So it is really us that have deteriorated in the modern times. He didn’t really think much about the pain and just pushed on. If it were someone in modern times, a little pus would send him/her into a frenzy of fear and into the hospital to ask for treatment. The Ancient Wisdom Unveiled Eventually, the puss and blood stopped, and the swelling went away. The legs and feet returned to normal. But the legs are now like never before. The skins are like those of new-born babies. And not just the feet. The rest of the body too. His hair and face have also rejuvenated. It turns out the body was just casting out the toxins long stored within his body – even the toxins he was born with. The Moment of Enlightenment After a month of walk, he thought to himself, “I think I’ve done enough, and I really do need a good sleep”. So he untied his hair and start to lay down on a pillow. Just as he head touched the pillow, he did it. He attained enlightenment. So he attained enlightenment and got a much better-looking physical body. Pretty good deal, right? The Core Inner Energy Method When you practice the core inner energy method of Neigong, the inner energy generated is hard and hammer-like. It breaks down the major energy/physical blockages in your body. This is because Neigong is at the center of Qi cultivation. The Order of Qi Cultivation The important order of your Qi cultivation. The order is Wu-Gong (武功) Qi-Gong (氣功) Nei-Gong (內功) Tao-Gong (道功) Zen-Gong (禪功) The latter two, Tao- and Zen-Gong, are more geared toward spiritual enlightenment, which comes naturally after Neigong… Everyone is trying to do "Zen-Gong" (禪功) before all of those previous 4 steps. The reversal of this order dramatically slows their cultivation development. Nei-Gong: The Gateway to True Health Once the Neigong step is complete, one will progress into the four Levels of Zen meditative states easily. The hammer-like practices (no, it's not intense exercise) are the basis of "Nei-Gong" or "Internal Kung Fu". This will give back a truly healthy body. This cannot be done with Wu-Gong (sports, exercises, or muscle workouts) that strengthens your physique and Qi, but not focused on clearing the internal blockages. Only after all the blockages in your body are cleared can you be called a truly healthy person.

Also, please do not try this because you could end up hurting yourself, even fatally. People in those days and age had simpler minds (this is a big plus) and fewer toxins in their body, whether those toxins are before, after-birth or both. The way you need to deal with those toxins and energy blockages is tricky. Most of us cannot force our way through those toxins like the monk did. You will hurt yourself before those toxins decide to leave your body. I will show you a better way. A way for the more complicated and modern-day individual.

Book Description
Kung Fu has evolved from a traditional means of defence to become a system of attacking and defending oneself, with or without weapons, exercising the body and maintaining good physical and mental health. As such, these practices have found an international following. Yet what has remained a largely unexplored area is the scientific principles behind these martial arts. This book not only covers the brief history of Chinese martial arts, but also brings together the wisdom of a Kung Fu grand master with a scientist and teacher to explain the scientific reasons why Kung Fu is the powerful practice that it is. Using the principles of physics, biomechanics and biology, with a number of drawings showing some basic postures of Kung Fu, the authors present a deep understanding of how the styles, the specific movements and methods of attack and defence operate.

Book Description
Although the energetic anatomy of men and women is different, the ancient teachings of Nu Dan, a separate branch of internal alchemy for women, have been lost in the literature over the centuries and only survive through practice in the lineages. This book takes a detailed look at female energetic anatomy, exploring how it is different from its male counterpart, and explains and describes the specific practices which support the unique strengths and challenges that the female energy system presents. Previously wrapped in secrecy, the teachings in this book include qigong exercises that activate the energy of the uterus and an explanation of how menstruation and a connection to the cycles of the moon can be converted into a tool for Nei Gong development.
