People always ask me what it's like to sit at a meditation lesson with Nan Huai-chin, just as they wonder what it was like to sit with a Nisargadatta or Papaji or Ramana Maharshi. Now you have a chance to sit in on several of his impromptu lectures on meditation breathing techniques for samadhi attainments, namely anapana methods (pranayama techniques) and their tie-in with the various types of chi (qi) you can cultivate on the spiritual trail.
This is actually a very confusing topic for most people who think there is only one type of chi that you cultivate through meditation. In fact, when you focus on the state of respiratory pausation between breaths, called Xi (hsi), that's just one type of chi … and most people cultivate this chi incorrectly when "counting breaths." There are yet other types of higher stage chi that you cultivate in pursuing samadhi all the way to enlightenment, and each stage corresponds to changes in your body's five elements, its chi channels, chakras and even hormones. But how are you going to find this all out and put all the pieces together correctly without getting lost or misinterpreting things unless you read dozens and dozens of the right Chinese books that talk about anapana practices correctly? Frankly, it's nearly impossible. The information just isn't available to most meditation practitioners. Until now:

LaoKu Publishing of Taiwan just sent me the manuscript of two years of conversations between Nan Huai-chin and best selling author Peter Senge on just this topic of cultivating your CHI through breathing methods. The conversation ranges through all sorts of subjects - the Consciousness Only school, jing-chi-shen transformations, the Six Healing Sounds of Taoism, the 34 types of sensations felt in meditation, the five skandhas, the I-Ching for predicting the future, the novel "Journey to the West" and how it reveals cultivation truths, the future of cognitive science research, the five aggregates (skandhas), the intermediate body, Sustaining Chi, Reward Body Chi, Seed Chi, the Kagyu lineage and its focus on breathing methods to transform the chi channels, the Taoist sequences of spiritual transformation, Primordial Chi, the purpose of the life sciences, the Sixth consciousness, and more. Master Nan likes to talk about all sorts of topics when he's making a point, and here's your chance to actually sit in at the table and experience what it's like to be there as he pulls together history, culture, science and ethics with the spiritual cultivation path and the changes you should expect from meditation.
For the first time, in this publication you get a chance to see what it's like to sit at a table with all sorts of people who ask all sorts of cultivation questions of a Taoist Zen master on anapana breathing methods. And you don't have to pay several thousand dollars for four or five round trip airplane tickets and hotel bills as Peter did, nor do you have to wait for a translator to get your questions and answers across to the master. In 115 pages, and at an introductory price of $15 (until next week when we raise the price), you can find out for yourself what cultivating Chi is really all about with this new ebook.
