Build a strong foundation for health, longevity, and spiritual enlightenment with the ancient art of Qģgng Embryonic Breathing (Internal Elixir).



Chinese Qģgng can be categorized into External Elixir (Wai Dan) and Internal Elixir (Nei Dan). To reach the goals of longevity and spiritual enlightenment, the practitioner must learn Internal Elixir Qģgng.



The first step, and the focus of this book, is to understand the theory and the method of Embryonic Breathing. Practicing this breathing technique will help you







Optimize your central energy system Conserve your energy Store this energy at abundant levels 



Using ancient Buddhist and Daoist documents, Dr. Yįng analyzes and discusses meditation theory and training methods in a modern and scientific manner. This double-edged approach will enable you to quickly achieve a high level of understanding.



It is well acknowledged that without a proper foundation, the root of spiritual enlightenment will not be established and the meditative practice of Qģgng for spiritual enlightenment, may be in vain.



Qģgng Embryonic Breathing is organized into three parts







Foundations: General Qģgng concepts and meditation theory Translations and commentary of ancient documents related to Embryonic Breathing The practice of Embryonic Breathing meditation



The necessary second and third steps are to practice Qģgng Small Circulation and Qģgng Grand Circulation.
