Book Description
Fire Dragon Meridian Qigong is a traditional Chinese Qigong form that embodies the spirit of the rising dragon, an auspicious symbol of transformation in Chinese culture. The form works directly on the meridians, awakening areas of stagnation and bringing the physical and emotional body into a balanced state of well-being. t is the key Qigong form the authors offer to people seeking healing from cancer and other significant or chronic health challenges. Fire Dragon Meridian Qigong implements special visualization and breathing techniques in addition to the movements that imitate sparks arising from a banked fire and swirling upward like a spiraling dragon, generating tremendous inner fire. Stoking the inner fire melts away the `ice’, or the areas of stagnation, blockage and disease residing in the physical, mental, or spiritual body. This creates pathways of flowing water, allowing the refinement of Jin (essence) and its transformation to `steam’ or Qi (vital energy), refinement of Qi and its transformation to Shen (spirit), and the refinement of Shen to transform it to Emptiness – the wisdom that reunites the spirit to the physical body, and is able to nourish every part of the Self. As well as information about the background of the practice, the book contains a detailed description of the form itself and is fully illustrated.
Editorial Reviews
Review
highly recommended for those seeking healing from major chronic illnesses or from traumatic life events. — Qigong Healing
Once again Master Wu offers an interesting insight into the ancient traditional system of Fire Dragon Meridian Qigong… Master Wu is going from strength to strength… — Tai Chi UK
“With Master Wu’s lineage and Dr. Taylor Wu’s years of immersion in the Taoist Art of Qi circulating healing ways, this book provides excellent guidance for Qi Gong practitioners.” — Chungliang Al Huang, president and director, Living Tao Foundation and International Lan Ting Institute, author of Embrace Tiger, Return to Mountain and co-author of Tao: The Watercourse Way
“The Fire Dragon by Master and Dr Wu is yet another little gem from Singing Dragon. Not only is this meridian exercise a classic piece of Emei Qigong but the authors have succeeded in making the Dragon reveal its wisdom and even the introduction gives a timely reminder of ‘knowledge stagnation’ that speaks to both the beginner in Qigong and to the experienced professional like myself.” — Gordon Faulkner, Principal Instructor, Chanquanshu School of Daoist Arts and author of Managing Stress with Qigong
“Teachers teach what they know. We need them. Masters rarely teach, but when they do, they teach what they are. Tigers do not hand out resumes but they are masters of being tigers. The modern world has become a discourteous complication drowning in an unnatural, unconnected soup of over-information, bereft of wisdom and any sane direction. For our bodies, minds, and souls to survive this worldwide cultural disaster, we need the delicious complexity of our real indigenous natures to reappear. We are lucky to have Master Wu’s generous approach as a place to begin becoming natural humans again.” — Martín Prechtel, author of Secrets of the Talking Jaguar
