This is an unprecedented work on the subject of chi. No other book in existence sets out to prove the existence of chi in a way that everyone can experience it now and modern medicine can study and use it. This book proves that chi runs along the nerves and by this understanding means that by placing one’s awareness on the body and that feeling of awareness is chi. Through the concepts of connected awareness and passive awareness we find a difference in body awareness. Passive awareness is what we experience as feeling what the body is sensing, like clothes and our environment. Connected awareness is the act of sensing our body with our mind to feel it. There is a definite difference in the feeling of connecting to the body. This awareness grows as you focus more and when you move that awareness around, it feels like energy. This is chi. And this gets proven by comparing the works of the top masters who were willing to share this information in a book. Of which there are only three others on the market today.
One master teaches, one only wrote a book and doesn’t teach and the other teaches but learned their technique from outside the world of chi cultivation.
This book also shows the similarities of the principles of moving chi developed by people from different times and cultures who all reached the same or similar conclusions in the cultivation of energy (chi) and its use for healing and well-being. This simple piece of information, these principles and this book has the potential to change all internal arts and mind-body arts in the world.
For example, today about 98% of the arts of chi cultivation that are practiced today cultivate and use chi in a passive way. As in, moving the body, breathing and meditation to affect chi. Using needles to affect chi. As opposed to cultivating and using chi directly, as in, moving chi with the mind, feeling it move and using it to affect the body. This is neigong in internal arts terms. When this information is assimilated by all practitioners of the internal arts, the percentage ratio will flip. Meaning that 98% of people practicing an art of chi cultivation will now be cultivating chi directly and only 2% will be practicing qigong.
And being that now modern medicine can know where mind and body meet and how to cultivate that connection and its connection to chi, and that now chi can be experienced immediately with consistent results, means that now science can study and use it. This combined with the principles of chi cultivation, breathing, relaxation, connection to mind and chi and body, visualization, meditation and alignment, can bring new perspectives and approach to mind-body and preventive medicines and healing.
This work looks at the top books and the teachings of the top masters in the world teaching arts of chi cultivation also known as the internal arts. These are qigong, neigong, taichi, baguazhang, hsing I and yoga. This book gives detailed descriptions of the “three treasures,” jing, Qi (chi), and shen, and the experiences of each. Then you will find detailed definitions of their counterpart arts. Qigong for jing, neigong for chi and shengong for shen. This book also sheds light on the higher techniques of chi cultivation and how they work. Which no other book does. Another thing this book sets out to do is to create a standard for the different types of chi and their arts. Today people’s descriptions of the different arts very confusing and never seem to be able to clearly differentiate between qigong and neigong and shengong. This book also looks at the reasons why this information has been lost for so long and how it is still lost today.
The purpose of this book is not to tout Qiyoda’s successes. It is to prove its merit and the merit of all other arts that are chi and mind-body related. It is to prove to science and medicine that chi exists, and how it can be studied and used. The main purpose of this book is to show how this information will change everything related to chi and the mind and the possibilities and potential for the good that this information can have in the world.
