Nei Gong has been a well-kept secret within the Daoist sects of China for centuries. Based on the original teachings of the great sage Laozi, it was taught only to close students of the masters who were selected as leaders of the ancient orders. This book provides a comprehensive explanation of the entire Nei Gong process and explains in simple English the philosophy underlying the Nei Gong practice, which is based on the original teachings of the ancient Daoist priests. The methodology of Sung breathing, an advanced meditative practice that has until now been reserved for 'inner door' students, is described, and the book includes a complete set of Qigong exercises, accompanied by instructive photographs and drawings. This book will be of interest to all practitioners of Qi Gong, martial arts, and meditation, and is an enriching read for anyone interested in Eastern philosophy.
