Taoist Sexual Meditation by Bruce Frantzis. This was another book that was recommended to me, and I have to admit, the title threw me a bit. When it was recommended to me, it was for the information within, and the practices, and principles. It took me a while to work up the courage to buy this book, mostly because of the many people that would see it on it's way to my house, and I figured they'd get the wrong impression. But as it turns out, it was worth it.
Book Review: Qigong Meditation
Qigong Meditation Embryonic Breathing by Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming. This was a book that was recommended to me, and since I had nothing else at the time on my reading list, I gave this book a shot. The book is about 348 pages long, and is a sizable read. It tries to be very in-depth with it's information as well as it's principles, theories and practices. The primary concern in the book is health, how to recover it, manage it, and improve it. It sets out to give you practices to improve your health, as well as the information needed to understand what you're doing and why.
Book Review: Kundalini Rising
This book in particular, Kundalini Rising by Barbara Condron, caught my attention because of the title. Kundalini has been an interest of mine for some time now. So when I saw this book, I thought it may be one of those unassuming diamonds in the rough. I was in a bookstore searching for anything that might catch my attention, when this one did just that. Before I buy any book, I have to be able to read some of it in order to judge the contents for myself, which I did. As I thumbed through it, I thought this book may have it all, from meditation, to chakras, to energy work, to of course, kundalini.
Book Review: Nei Kung
This book is more or less the sequel to the Magus of Java, titled Nei Kung by Kosta Danaos. After reading the Magus of Java, I had to read more. And when I found out Kosta had written another book on the subject, I had to get it to see if there would be more information on the subject. Any and all information at that point was a must. I was effectively hooked on exploring more into this world and it's wonders. So what exactly does Nei Kung have to offer?
Book Review: The Magus of Java
Put simply, this is probably my favorite book, ever! Out of all the books I've read, this book has several things going for it that others that I've read, just doesn't have. I'm not even sure where to begin. It's the story of the author, Kosta Danaos, and his journey and apprenticeship under an experienced master, John Chang, in the art of Nei Kung, or internal martial arts. His journey leads past conventional understanding of the world, and well into ancient wisdom, once thought long forgotten, and into potential, that most don't even believe they have!
Book Reviews
I read a lot of books on the subject of spirituality, meditation, chi and paranormal abilities, etc. Much of the information I present on my blog here comes from these books, and my own experiences. I have a little Amazon widget with several of the books I've read here on this blog, but I figured that doesn't do much to convey if any of the books on it are worth reading. So I decided it would probably be useful if I actually reviewed some of these books, so you know a little bit more about them, and if they might interest you at all.
Change Yourself from Within!
The mind can be a wondrous thing. Capable of dreaming up your greatest fantasies, or summoning your darkest nightmares. Worst, or best yet is, it's also responsible for making them real within you. Both on a psychological level, as well as a more physical one. Held deep within the mind lies the keys to your eternal freedom, or endless imprisonment, and everything in-between. So how might one go about changing one, into the other?
