Wisdom Chi Kung: Practices for Enlivening the Brain with Chi Energy

Wisdom Chi Kung
Practices for Enlivening the Brain with Chi Energy
By Mantak Chia
Published by Destiny Books
160 pages, paperback

Wisdom Chi Kung presented me with challenges I had not previously encountered in Mantak Chia’s books.

Yet they use physiological terms and diagrams that work well to reduce the initial sense of an unimagined world.

The Dice Game of Shiva
How Consciousness Creates the Universe
By Richard Smoley
