The content in this DVD is very necessary for people living in the modern world. It serves as a policy of health assurance vs. insurance. The skills taught in this volume are the foundation of a vibrant preventative approach to health and wellness.The Alchemy of Qi Gong Volume II: Shaolin Basics: Building the FoundationThis DVD builds the foundation for a solid energy yoga practice. It helps develop the deep “horse” stances which are an essential part of Shaolin Qigong. Shaolin is the ancient Buddhist temple in China where great masters trained in the arts of energy cultivation and profound meditation. The basis of this work is predicated on the cultivation of the Bodymind as one cohesive unit. The Qigong taught in this DVD is designed to help bridge the perceived gap between body, mind, and spirit in the practitioner. It is an active moving form of meditation that teaches us to discover our internal power and gain further focus and insight in our daily lives. This volume is designed to bring up the energy in the body, connect the willpower to that force, and teach us to calm the mind while in specific postures. It becomes the springboard for a healthy alchemical practice which is anchored in the physical body. The Alchemy of Qi Gong Volume III Shaolin Alchemy: Energetic Integration Practices The last in this 3-part series, this DVD delves into advanced concepts in Qi Gong. It teaches the famous Tendon and Muscle Changing as well as the Marrow Washing Classics from the Shaolin tradition. These powerful exercises are designed to integrate the energy flow with the tissues of the body and connect the Attention with the Intention in the practitioner. This level serves as the final preparatory step in the enhancement of energy flow for the student before they delve into the deeper Nei Gong (or internal alchemical work). These exercises cultivate personal power, refine the focus, integrate the Bodymind, and calm the mind. The Shaolin Alchemy is the necessary training training needed to reinforce the lessons taught in the first two volumes of this series. With sustained focus and increased energy available to the student, they are capable of stepping into a life of personal mastery and peaceful tranquility.
