Build a strong foundation for health, longevity, and spiritual enlightenment with the ancient art of Qìgng Embryonic Breathing (Internal Elixir).



Chinese Qìgng can be categorized into External Elixir (Wai Dan) and Internal Elixir (Nei Dan). To reach the goals of longevity and spiritual enlightenment, the practitioner must learn Internal Elixir Qìgng.



The first step, and the focus of this book, is to understand the theory and the method of Embryonic Breathing. Practicing this breathing technique will help you







Optimize your central energy system Conserve your energy Store this energy at abundant levels 



Using ancient Buddhist and Daoist documents, Dr. Yáng analyzes and discusses meditation theory and training methods in a modern and scientific manner. This double-edged approach will enable you to quickly achieve a high level of understanding.



It is well acknowledged that without a proper foundation, the root of spiritual enlightenment will not be established and the meditative practice of Qìgng for spiritual enlightenment, may be in vain.



Qìgng Embryonic Breathing is organized into three parts







Foundations: General Qìgng concepts and meditation theory Translations and commentary of ancient documents related to Embryonic Breathing The practice of Embryonic Breathing meditation



The necessary second and third steps are to practice Qìgng Small Circulation and Qìgng Grand Circulation.
