Description
Greater Kan and Li
This new book gives a clear, detailed description of the Greater Kan and Li formulas taught by Master Mantak Chia and used by Taoist Hermits in the practice of Inner Alchemy.
This text aims to provide background information to the devoted meditation practitioner. The Kan and Li (fire and water) meditations are for advanced students seeking mystical enlightenment or immortality. Like the devotees of the past – sincere progress involves engagement and dialogue with the classics. It both contextualizes and bridges the gap between the Universal Healing Tao practices and the larger stage of Taoist alchemy both in terms of historical practice and other contemporary styles.
Master Chia and Dr. Andrew Jan provide you a clearly written and illustrated book that sits half way between the classics (including academic commentary) on ancient Taoist practices and a simple DIY (Do It Yourself!) take home manual. This text hopes to break down these barriers and make this mystical tradition available to all. It does this with copious drawings, illustrations, detailed explanations and Frequently Asked Questions. As well as the background and details on the formulas it includes a chapter on diet (Bi Gu) and herbs used in conjunction with the meditations. The final chapter is on ‘Take Home Practice’ where devoted students can be advised on how to integrate these practices with everyday life.
