| Summary: | "Shaolin is more than just the physical expression of kung fu martial arts. Rooted in Chan Buddhism and Tao philosophy, it also offers a way of reconnecting our minds with our bodies through meditative movements to cultivate the core virtues of discipline and perseverance. In this book, Shi Heng Yi, founder of the Shaolin Temple Europe and lay disciple of the Songshan Shaolin Temple, introduces us to the contemplative practice that underpins Shaolin - a way of life that has existed for over 1,500 years - and shows how it can help us today. Having experienced the challenges of modern life as a young man, Shi Heng Yi understands the pressures only too well. Here, he highlights twelve key practices to help improve sleep, relationships, and decision-making, as well as balance, flexibility, and strength, offering a powerful pathway to self-mastery and understanding."--Book jacket flap. |
