Sanity Check Posted June 15, 2020 Hi. Someone told me about mantak chia's micro cosmic orbit years ago. Recently I began reading his books. I don't currently meditate or follow a routine intended to develop the energy body or learn "chi" techniques. My interest atm is to satisfy my curiosity and learn about the conceptual and abstract side of things. Are there good resources for reading about inner alchemy or similar topics from a fundamental point of view? I'm aware its mostly a closed society in the way chinese discouraged the teaching of martial arts to non chinese prior to Bruce Lee. But hey still worth a try, am I right? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
