Summary: A Fine Assortment of Qigong Practices
Comment: Whether one is interested in qigong for health, healing, or self-defense, this is the book to have. Separated into five sections, Qigong Empowerment runs the spectrum of internal arts practices. The taijiquan practitioner finds information on Taoist practices. The "hard-style" practitioner finds plenty of training approaches. Those not interested in martial arts but interested in Asian energy healing practices will not be disappointed. Expensive for a paperback, but well worth it.

Summary: The Most Complete Book on Qigong
Comment: Quite simply, this book covers more aspects and types of Qigong than any other book available to the english speaking public. I am a practitioner of the huge Universal Tao System and this one of the only books that that is up to par with Sifu Mantak Chia's books. Furthermore, it uncovers very, very secret practices from the Taoist Internal Alchemy, Chinese and Tibetan Tantrism, Shaolin Secret Arts and even Dzogchen(!) many of which have never been publicly published before. Some of these practices are so secret most practitioners have either: never heard of them or had concluded they had been lost. Yet, Sifu Shou-yu Liang and Sifu Wen-ching Wu have found it in their hearts to share these profound practices with the rest of the world. They are both incredible masters in their own right, not to mention winning numerous qigong and martial arts awards under their belt. Their schools are well known and respected worldwide.
Really, Qigong Empowerment is set of 5 books. After reading the introduction you will then be able to choose which books you want to read. If you are feeling unhealthy you might go to the Medical Qigong Book; if you practice a style of martial arts you may go to the Martial Qigong Book. All five books are really amazing though.
Each practice is outlined in a very logical and practical manner and really pretty easy to understand. There is also a healthy amount of philosophical explanation and theory. So even the teaching method is complete here: they give WHO founded the particular technique and how it was passed down, WHAT it is in clear explanation, WHERE it is from exactly, and HOW it should be done along with safety tips, and to top it off, WHY you would want to practice such a technique with some examples of the benefits.
If your new to Qigong start here. It will give you the proper understanding of Qigong far from those videos at whole foods with some guy waving his arms around. This is real Qigong which involves leading the Qi with the Yi (heart/mind intent) It will also give you thorough understanding of each of the most common Qigong schools.
If you already experienced in Qigong or any type of Martial Arts -- buy this book right now and prepare yourself to experience some of the most amazing abilities humans are capable of. The title says it all: Qigong Empowerment!

Summary: More bang for your buck
Comment: Very well written book.
This book ranks up with Yang Jwing-ming's books on taijiquan and qigong, as to form practice and mind stillness.
This book is definately a must read, as the author has also spent years on it.
There are some things that don't seem right like the "spritual flame technique". Now this technique heats up the body.
Unfortunately the bones are very yin, and heat can damage them. It is my understanding that you must use cooler yin energy to protect your bones, and other yin parts of the body.
Not necessarily something you want to do early in training.
There is also the 'bone marrow to qi' technique. Sorry, I spent too many years packing qi into my bone marrow (or more appropriately circulating it within). Without qi, bonemarrow becomes fatty.
Now even though I disagree with some of it, there is still a wealth of information contained in these books.
Studing does not hurt and separates the wheat from the chaff.
With qigong, once again, you must practice regularly to maintain, otherwise you lose it.
