Book Reviews of Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body: Chi Gung for Lifelong Health (Tao of Energy Enhancement)
Book Review: Excellent discussion of internal practices
Summary: 5 Stars
This book does a very good job of covering the purposes and techniques of many internal aspects of Tai Chi and Chi Gung. That's no mean feat, as the topic is incredibly deep and requires years of study to understand even partially. This book won't instantly make you a master of these arts, but it is a valuable companion to a study of any sort of internal energy and movement work. Although I think studying with an instructor is invaluable, for those seeking more reading on this topic, Bruce's other books (particularly The Power of Internal Martial Arts and Chi: Combat and Energy Secrets of Ba Gua, Tai Chi and Hsing-I) continue this exploration in depth.

Summary of Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body: Chi Gung for Lifelong Health (Tao of Energy Enhancement)
Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body introduces the key concepts of chi gung in a manner both accessible and understandable to Westerners. With fascinating insights gained from years of training in Asia as a warrior, healer, and priest, Bruce Frantzis demystifies the concept of "chi," the body's vital energy life force, and shows why this 3000-year-old system of self-healing works. The book provides a set of enjoyable, low impact exercises that readers can learn on their own, including standing chi gung, a core exercise that effectively boosts performance for martial artists, athletes, business people, and others. Body alignments and Taoist breathing, fundamentals that are the foundation of all Taoist energy practices, are also taught, with special alignments that benefit those who must sit for long periods of time. The book also reveals how chi gung can enhance other forms of exercise, from yoga and Pilates to golf and basketball.Energy Healing Books
