TAOIST CHI KUNG is well known for developing and refining the Three Treasures-Essence, Energy, and Spirit-to manifest our highest potential as human beings. This process is called Inner-Alchemy. Inner-Alchemy is defined as the transformation of base to refined, taking the ordinary and materially bound consciousness through a step-by-step journey to Universal Presence. Since ancient times the precise steps for this process and their exact order have been known but shrouded in secrecy. - Strategies tells the story of this process as handed down through the Hua Shan Taoist Chi Kung lineage. - Strategies reveals the energetic principals of 108 exercises that are designed to nourish Essence (Jing - Level 1), matriculate latent transformational powers (Chi - Level 2), and harmonize man with the Divine (Shen - Level 3). - Strategies is an educational book, not an instructional manual.
