Summary: Practical and accomplishable.
Review:
This book has helped me a lot. I had an accident a while ago, and I was suffering terrible pains in both my knees, for they were severely damaged in that accident: my therapist recommended me to read this book, and to try some of the movements, which I have followed just as the book explains, bit by bit, and they have really helped me.
The good thing about this book is that compared to other books that I have read in the past, it was very clear and understandable. The drawings came with this very clear explanations, so it really leaves no place for doubts.
After a while, my mother and some of my relatives have started doing the exercises as well, for the book is 'accomplishable' by everyone.

Summary: A great contribution to humanity
Review:
This book is great!
I bought it without huge expectations, but it has really astonished me: it is clear, precise, simple, direct, and easy for anyone to understand. It's not important if you're a kid or an adult, that really doesn't matter at all. I'm happy and thankful that I've had the chance to learn this system of movements.
I recommend everyone who follows any sort of discipline to read this book, because they'll be very impressed as they immerse themselves in its pages and designs. In the beginning it seems to be a system of simple movements, but with practice and constancy one realizes that this system goes beyond. I'm thankful to the author, for in a certain way he's helped me to get to know myself, to discover how much I can learn, and to awaken different parts of me that were asleep.
Because I know Spanish as well as English I have been able to read another book by this author, `Bamso, the Art of Dreams,' which traces a magical line toward understanding dreams, what they are, and how to make them even better and more fruitful. It isn't cold, like an instructional manual, but it lets you participate in the story.
It's fascinating: these books are a great contribution to humanity!

Summary: a unique book
Review:
I like reading, and I like reading a lot, especially when it comes to subjects that are related to the East. Thus, I always look for new things, and this Seamm Jasani stuff has enchanted me.
It is a magic experience, feeling the energy flowing through my body. The techniques taught are revitalizing, without requiring too much effort, and the breathing system is invigorating: I can really feel the positive energies and the purified air coming inside my lungs.
This book has three things that I look for in any book that I buy: a wonderful reading which kept me thrilled all the time, a unique message that I could feel had to be read between the lines, and exercises for the body, the mind, and the spirit.
I want to recommend everyone to read it and practice it, for it will enlighten you all, while making you enjoy something new.

Summary: Do something positive!!!!!!
Review: A few weeks ago I bought this book, mainly for the "polemic" it has caused in some of the reviews. I wanted to try it by myself, and to be honest, I have to say that the book is well written, it is fun, and doing the movements and practicing them has really worked.
Now I understand a bit about the reviews, for I know people that have studied systems like Qi Gong, Karate, Jiu-Jitsu (etc) for a long period of time, and many times, the jealousy and fights that come among these different groups has amazed me, for weren't they supposed to be doing something positive? That is what I personally liked about this book; it is a positive and interesting book, that everyone can follow.
By the way... I wear glasses since I was 7 years-old, since I am myopic, and I had no problem at all when it came to reading it and following the movements, and honestly, I do not care if the book comes from a 10 thousand years-old tradition, or is something new, the results will be the always the same: EXCELLENT!!!!!!

Summary: Secret Art ??
Review: All these practices are essentially Nei Gung. There is nothing that "ancient" about them.
They can be located and traced to health systems practices from China to India. And by the way, what exactly is 10,000 years old about this? I don't think so...
There is not collaborating evidence to show or prove this! Don't believe everything you read just because it is forwarded by a so-called expert! That being said, these practices can be beneficial to health and well-being, just as many other systems can be as well... a good system of Qigong might even be better!

Summary: Needle In the Haystack
Review: Don't judge a book by a hokey title. This is the real thing. The exercises work, and fast. I found myself coughing and (hopefully) cleansing my lungs after the first time trying the book's basic breathing exercise. I started adding the physical movements. The effect is more profound than that of any other system I've tried. It's hard to describe. Yoga leaves me feeling strong and calm. Tai chi leaves me feeling centered and powerful and grounded. Seamm-Jasani leaves me feeling healthy but also incredibly clear-headed, as if my ability to see into situations and things has been markedly improved, my anxiety relieved, my ability to get things done dramatically enhanced. I also strongly recommend The Five Tibetans. Bottom line: this book is worthwhile, to say the least. It's authentic, highly effective, and fascinating. The explanations are clear and the movements are graduated so the early ones are particularly gentle (but supply quite a workout) and suitable for just about anyone, of any age or gender. I particularly recommend this book for people who are elderly or frail and looking for a system to help restore them to health.

Summary: Thanks a lot for this book!
Review: First of all, I'd like to say that this book has somehow changed me: from being a man a bit negative and that spent most of his time thinking about the rest of the people and their activities, I turned into being someone more positive, creative, who now 'looks on the bright side of life'... I guess that is also being reflected in my health, for now I don't get sick as often as I used to...
This book is great! I can't get tired of its drawings (which are beautiful!), the movements, the breathing techniques. I have even e-mailed the author, for I had to thank him directly for his great contribution to the world of books.
This book also cheered-me up in decisive moments of my life, and therefore, I can't say enough how much I like it. I love this book!
I recommend this book to anyone with an open mind and a desire to learn something new (but ancient).

Summary: Clear head, centered mind and stress-reduction.
Review: Founding and first reading this book really challenged me. When I ordered it I thought it could be a sort of Nei Gung, but after practicing the exercises I soon discovered it has nothing to do with it. Seamm Jasani has forced me to think a lot, and despite the occasional difficulty of that, I've really enjoyed it! My reflections upon myself and the world have improved, meaning that I'm more clear, more sure, and more precise in my analysis of the world around me, and of myself. My lungs are much stronger from the breathing, and I've been able to apply the techniques of stress-reduction to my daily life as well. They're simple enough to apply easily and generally, yet complicated enough to require, as I said, a lot of thought. I've studied various things in my life, and I know that the sort of centeredness that I've gained doesn't come easily-it takes time, reflection, and concentration. What this book has done for me, above anything else, is that it's helped me to ask myself the right questions, to think productive and positive thoughts, while giving me exercises to practice this. I've found that the movements help this thinking along in a positive and efficient way, so that I'm looking forward to the things I'll think about when I'm doing the movements, and to the feeling of clear headedness and centeredness that comes from practicing. It's really been great to incorporate these exercises into my daily life!

Summary: The Secret Art of Seamm Fasani
Review: I am really enjoying doing the exercises presented in this book. I feel invigorated from doing them and not overwhelmed. I am also excited because many of the exercises are simple enough that my two young children are doing them as well. I feel excited that they are learning to oxygenate their systems and discipline at the same time. I am impressed.
