Clouds Over Qingcheng Mountain A Practice Guide to Daoist Health Cultivation

<p>Immersing the mind with the concepts of the Daoist path of health and immortality, <i>Clouds over Qingcheng Mountain</i> invokes the sacred birthplace of one of China's mystical mountains that has stimulated both mind and body for generations.<br> <br> Whilst the first volume, <i>Climbing the Steps to Qingcheng Mountain</i>, invited the reader to travel across time and through the history of China and Daoism, <i>Clouds over Qingcheng Mountain</i> is more focused in the book's purpose. Wang Yun places special focus on relaxation and the breath through five sets of foundational yet all-encompassing practices, such as posting, to deepen both themes. He offers tales from his life and journey, along with accessible tools to strengthen both body and qi.<br> <br> Bridging the gap between practical experience and philosophical background, <i>Clouds over Qingcheng Mountain</i> simplifies the complex practices of Daoism handed down by generations of accomplished Masters, and gifts the reader with its most valuable aspects for a modern world.</p>
