Hi Everybody,
I am a relative beginner in Qigong, using a particular set of instructionals online from a highly experienced and long time teacher and with downloadable materials. I believe it is of high quality - good pedigree and painstaking texts and illustrations.
BUT: I want a well-known, recommended text----that is accessible for an intelligent layperson, a beginning practitioner----on qi, its various forms, the abstract and theoretical, its relationship to the breath, and how it works in practice, phenomenologically.
I have seen books - Yang Jwing Ming, Damo Mitchell among others - but it gets rough, confusing, for me, a beginner.
The issue is both that of correct theory, in TCM and internal arts, and good presentation - for a modern, educated readership. Rather than arcane points of detail.
Any suggestions or advice from any instructors / practitioners with many years experience?
Thank you in advance.
Dan
