You possess the ability to tap a bottomless well of physical and psychic energy (called 'chi' in Chinese). With it, you can harness the magickal power of the universe. Yet most of us unknowingly block the flow of this power, and live oiut our lives not reaching the potential that we could achieve if we only knew how.

Now this knowledge can be yours, with Chi Gung. By learning this ancient Chinese art of breath, postures and sensory awareness, you can direct your flow of chi to help you achieve ultimate health and the things you've only dreamed of.

'L.V. Carnie presents a fresh perspective on chi kung which, as far as I know, no other writers have done before-a perspective that is helpful to both beginners and masters alike.'-Wong Kiew Kit Shaolin Wahnam Chi Kung Institute, Malaysia author of Chi Kung for Health and Vitality

'As Chi Gung enters into the mainstream of the West, it needs translators who can help us demystify it and relate it to our everyday lives. L.V. Carnie has achieved this more than any other book on the subject. Just reading this book will fill you full of energy.'-James MacRitchie Founding president of The Chi Kung/Qigong Association of America author of The Chi Kung Way: Alive with Energy

L.V. Carnie (Seattle, Washington) has devoted her life to the study of the practice of Two Spirit (Berdache) Shamanism and Chi Gung. She has found that the two esoteric discipines have helped her to realize her potential as both a healer and as an energy specialist.

I've been interested in Chi Gung since I learned about Zhan Zhuang meditation (commonly called"standing like a tree") to help me deal with stress when my work gets tough. Lily-of-the-Valley's book was one of the first I picked up when I wanted to learn more about Chi Gung (which I found out is also known as QiGong or Chi Kung) and it was really helpful for me.

Her book is a wonderful guide to the practice of Chi Gung providing many great exercises that help you develop an awareness of Chi. Many of her experiences and practice techniques remind me of the rejuvenation I feel when I go on walks in the fields around my house at night to clear my mind and reconnect with nature. Check it out and see if it can be helpful for you.… (mais)

This is an great guide to the art of Chi Gung. I like reading about Eastern & Vedic Healing practices and Lily Carnie's book has raised my appreciation of this form of Chinese Energy work. Her section on the various styles of Chi Gung breathing have provided more depth to my knowledge of Yogic breathing and I found her descriptions of technique to be vivid and helpful. For example, "Imagine you are inhaling a delicate silk thread and if you breathe too harshly, quickly, or spasmodically, it will break" and with exercises like "The Cormorant Spreads His Wings" and "The Beautiful Flower Opens and Closes Her Petals" she beautifully conveys the poetry of the practice. I love it when you find a book that does a great job at being both instructive and pleasing to read.… (mais)

Lily Carnie – has devoted her life to the study and practice of QiCong. A different book on QiCong, in this understanding it is a beginning of another perception of life. Nothing of the traditional exercises is altered, and still a big part of the book is dedicated to various exercises to spread QiCong state in other systems and moments. All the tricks to increase the intensity of being (touch, smell, mental exercises, learning from other being and objects, some wizardry).A variety of exercises that can open the flow of Qi as well as training techniques for achiving the advances skills.… (mais)
