About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A contemporary Shaolin Master shares the wisdom and philosophy of the ancient tradition that has captured the imagination of millions worldwide

What do you imagine when you think of Shaolin? Ferociously strong warriors flying through the air?

Shaolin is more than just the physical expression of martial arts. Rooted in Zen and Tao philosophy, it also offers a way of reconnecting our minds with our bodies through meditative movement to cultivate the core virtues of discipline and perseverance.

In this book, Shi Heng Yi, founder of 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 much as balance, flexibility and strength, offering a powerful pathway to self-mastery and understanding.

well put together. makes me realise the importance of mind body spirit connection - on this plane.

this man did a great job in this book. made me understand what it means to have a trained mind - anywhere. in my view is more practical than stoicism, given the training, the roots.

besides my gym and meditation routine, the face massage, the monkey and the tree techniques fits like a glove, for my longevity plan. God damn, I wish it was a second part 🧡 such a nice voice, well grounded. keeps you engaged.

keep up bro! I watched you on YouTube!
