Essence of Internal Martial Arts (Vol 2): Energy Theory and Cultivation.
This book series (Volumes I & II) is not presented as a scholarly work, but is intended as an accessible source book for those martial artists who wish to explore the full potential of their own internal systems. They contain a compilation of information for the complete integration of body, mind, emotion, and spirit. This internal fusion of whole body awareness requires constant balance, as we are in a state of perpetual change.
Keep in mind that because of my extensive experience in Pa Kua Chang (八卦掌, Bagua Zhang), some of the information given in this manual will be influenced from that viewpoint. Although the methodologies may vary between internal schools, the functional structure, alignment, Nei Kung (內功, Nei Gong, Internal Skill) and Fa Chin (發勁, Fa Jin, Explosive Energy), will always be the same.
These books are not offered as a ruler to judge your teachers by, rather they are meant to encourage you to progress toward your full potential as a mature martial artist.
