The Shaolin tradition is a way of life that has existed for over 1,500 years – and can help us today. In this book Shi Heng Yi, founder of Shaolin Temple Europe, shares twelve key practices which, through a powerful combination of meditative movement and ancient philosophy, show the 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!

I liked the book some very helpful tips and extremely useful advice. I didn’t give 5 stars as I am a scientist with a degree in biochemistry and this book talks about chi. Sorry but it’s pseudoscience. Chi is not actually real. Now I’m not saying this stuff doesn’t work but it’s through physiological mechanisms like neurons and neurotransmitters. The is no magical chi. Therefore I couldn’t give 5 stars.

A very inspiring book. His wisdom and insights are articulated with genuine passion to help other people. His voice is so captivating and every word has meaning, I listened to this book in one go. I felt his selfless sharing of his energy, has inspired me to be more disciplined and deepen my spiritual practice. Thank you.

An introduction into a life alien to our normality, enlightenment and educational. Worth a read if you want to find calm amongst the chaos of the western world.
