Entire Physique Prayer is an interesting memoir by Yan Ming Li, a Qigong grasp. It tells the story of his hardships throughout his upbringing in a working-class household in Communist China in the course of the cultural revolution. He had a pure affinity for Qigong, and it blossomed into therapeutic talents with some coaching. He finally migrated to the West, changing into a trainer and healer in Atlanta. There are some wonderful tales of therapeutic within the e book. After telling his personal story, he teaches his self-healing strategy of whole-body prayer.
Grasp Li has ecumenical religious beliefs equal to the perennial philosophy which many declare are on the core of all of the World’s main religions, and that is talked about all through the e book. Readers who’re skeptical of such beliefs might discover this a stumbling block, however I favored his clear dialogue of this.
In a nutshell, his self-healing method is meditation in a standing pose. It entails visualizing vitality flowing in the direction of part of your physique from the religious middle (Dantian in Chinese language, Hara in Japanese, generally taught in varied martial arts). I discovered the method stress-free, though it entails an arm place I discovered a bit awkward. I modified {that a} bit to make it extra comfy. I intend to provide it a strive, visualizing therapeutic vitality directed towards my knee. Who is aware of?
I’ve expertise with Yoga-based actions initially from India, however comparatively little with these of Chinese language origin resembling Tai-chi and Qigong (be aware that Qi is pronounced like “chi”, and the Chi in Tai-chi is identical as Qi). This attention-grabbing learn makes me need to look into them extra.
