This book has been set as 14-week course of 15 minutes-a-day programme (100 days). If you embark on this programme with faith and zeal removing all unnecessary doubts in your mind, this will certainly help you in an unbelievable manner. This book teaches you the art of authentic Taoist exercises developed in ancient China. Chi kung originally refers to practitioners of breathing exercises, just like yoga. In Chinese Chi means energy and kung is a system of training or study. Actually Chi Kung is just a part of Taoist yoga. In the west they are called Energy Exercises. Undoubtedly there is something very fascinating about these concepts and their implementations. One automatically feel rejuvenated.

The Tao is a Chinese expression that literally means the way or in other words the source of all created beings, living and non-living. And in Taoist yoga the way is shown to attain heightened physical, mental and sexual energy through Internal Alchemy- which means gathering the energies from the five major internal organs-- heart, lungs, kidneys, liver and spleen-- harmonizing it and changing from the negative to positive. The content is divided into 14-week practice sessions, with each week offering well-defined and explained exercises and promising specific results

In Holding Yin, Embracing Yang, Eva Wong presents translations of three key texts containing the highest teachings of the Eastern and Western schools of Taoist internal alchemy—the discipline of cultivating health, longevity, and immortality by transforming the energetic structures of body and mind. The texts are primarily concerned with meditation, breathing practices, and sexual yoga with a partner—all as means for developing within ourselves the same life-giving energy that sustains and nourishes the universe. The texts in this collection offer a clear view of the physical, mental, and spiritual methods of Taoist practice, showing why they are important and how these methods all can work together in the cultivation of mental peace, radiant health, and longevity. This collection will provide inspiration and the essential foundation necessary to begin Taoist practice under the guidance of a teacher. The three classics translated here are: Treatise on the Mysterious Orifice by Xuanweilun (sixteenth century), Discussion on the Cavity of the Tao by Daojiaotan (nineteenth century), and Secret Teachings on the Three Wheels by Sanjubizhi (nineteenth century). Included is an introduction in which Wong discusses the various schools of internal alchemy, as well as their main practices.
