Summary: Sifu Lam has done it again
Review: After reading Sifu (Master or Teacher) Lam's earlier work "The Way of Energy" I bought this book because it deals more with the healing aspect of Qigong (chi kung). I happen to have an intense interest in natural forms of healing. I have two complaints against this book 1. Sifu Lam neglects to include an illustration of where the meridians (energy pathways) occur on the body. "The Way of Energy" also neglects this information. 2. On page 109 Sifu Lam implies that Qigong (chi kung) exercizes will improve visual acuity. This is true providing that the visual deteioration is caused by lack of blood flow to the eyes. However deformity of the lens in problems like astygmatism will not be helped. After studying the exercize regimen in this book, I noticed that this book only includes the first five Zhan Zhaung (Jan Jong) poses listed in the earlier book "The Way of Energy", and the fact that he has changed the name for some of the poses. On page 150 Sifu Lam cautions readers to pay attention to the subtle signals their body sends to them. I agree with this 100%! Overall: this book is a very good place to start, but IMHO "The Way of Energy" is the better book. If I may be of assistance feel free to E-Mail me. William H.

Summary: a useful and clear book
Review: As a big fan of master Chuen's previous book, The Way of Energy, I eagerly sought out this book when I learned it was available. It is a very useful companion book to his earlier one, and it stands well on its own, too. It is a bit simpler in style and information, but contains additional useful practices and other interesting tidbits. It seems geared toward a reading audience that would be more interested in a less intense chi kung regime than that in The Way of Energy.

Summary: What is C'hi Kung? What can it does for you?
Review: When I purchased "The Way of HeaIing" I was a hatha yoga practicioner for over 20 years. I was not very impressed with Lam Kam Chuen's exercices, because they seemed silly. However, I started doing the easiest exercices regularly, and after 3 months I was very impressed with the results. I was feeling better than ever, even practicing my yoga exercices. I then started practicing the more difficult exercices, those of Zhan Zuang. Well, after three years I feel really great. At a first glance, doing the exercices seems to be easy. This is not the case at all. It requires a good deal of effort and concentration. But the results are great for one's health, life quality improvement, better sleeping, better work and hapiness. I strongly recommend reading "The Way of Healing" BEFORE reading and practicing the exercices of "The Way of Energy", by the same author. The exercices of "The way of Healing" are easier and prepares your mind and body for the hardest Zhan Zuang exercices, described in "The way of Energy". Try practicising Lam Kam Chen's C'hi Kung exercices regularly (daily) during one year, and I assure that you will be very happy.
