Moving into Stillness - a practical guide to Qigong and meditation

Meditative breath and movement are potent tools for personal transformation, for health development, stress release and as tool of martial arts. There are movement principles which you can apply that give special advantages over 'static' meditation. This book explains these powerful principles.

Moving into Stillness will give you a series of step by step techniques that are easy to learn and which you can use to cultivate states of deep peace, to free your self from habits of thought, action and emotion, as well as exercises to support martial skill.

This book is more than a set of techniques though. Written by Edward Hines, a senior student of renowned Bagua master Luo Dexiu it contains clear explanations in Western terms of the process of meditation, and does not resort to jargon. If you are looking for a qigong or meditation book for a sceptical friend, then this is it.

Whether you are already a martial artist, meditator, athlete, or too busy to waste time with fuzzy thinking, you will find a great deal of value here.

The exercises are powerful, simple and adaptable. Clear principles and samples programs are included that you can use to develop a practice that fits with your life. You will also find extremely practical principles and exercises that will help you apply your meditative skills to communication and planning.

The explanations which draw on science and experience address many misconceptions that are common in in Qigong. As such they will save you time and wasted effort.

Clearly illustrated with elegant line drawings, specially chosen to be visible, clear, and understandable on kindle screens you will not have the frustration that many other kindle books give with indistinct diagrams and full of tiny text. When you read this book your eyes will smile.
