The Way of Energy: A Gaia Original

Great written and illustrated information. Start practicing and in two weeks your pain will start diminishing.That’s what happened to me. Amazing, just amazing.

Great book. I like the “lazy” / “doing nothing” nature of the exercises. It can help you have better posture but you have to be careful if there is no one to correct you. Some of the points may seem pointless but you gotta watch if you are doing everything that is explained. I would recommend going slow and spending more time on each progression before stepping it up. The most important thing is to learn to relax, breathe and have good quality posture the time you hold it is and the progress to the next one are last important

Very good and informative. Instructions needs more structure as there's no way to know how to proceed with continued practise. This is really a guide to accompany real training. Good as it is, it leaves many questions unanswered:1. Do you need to practise all exercises every day?2. Do you practise for no more than 20 minutes changing exercises or do you practise each for 20 mins?3. How do you continue long term? Once proficient, can certain exercises be dropped, or reduced?These are some simple basic questions that need to be answered for standalone students like myself. Clearly these things are left out on purpose due to the secrecy and paranoia of allowing this knowledge out. It is not made easy for those of us wanting to learn these ancient skills.

questo libro riprende un altro dello stesso autore che è ormai difficile da trovare se non a prezzi molto elevati quindi sono felice di avere trovato questo.

Excellent book for anyone wanting to learn more about the practice of Standing Like a Tree (Zhan Zhuang). I have been a fan of this practice since it was first taught to me by one of the author's students of Tai Chi in the 80s. Shortly afterwards a TV documentary series of 10 parts was shown on Channel 4 in the UK (you can still view this on YouTube)
