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!

Don’t let the title mislead - the temptation would be to think this book is only of utility to the martial artist or those looking for a life of self-imposed scarcity. In fact it is a beautiful, considered road map for life. How to exist in harmony with all and everything, whilst exercising discipline and mindfulness. I bought the hard copy after just to get a more intense understanding of the valuable lessons it discusses. Everyone should read this: genuine and authentic and read with eloquence and clarity. I put it up there with De Mello’s Awareness. True self-help in the sense of physician heal thyself.

Extraordinary book

Thoroughly enjoyed this book, I was initially apprehensive about being able to grasp concepts but both the delivery of information and condensed insights are combined together and articulated perfectly. A pleasure to listen to and learn about Shaolin Spirit from the Master and imho - truly inspiring - a must listen for anyone on the path or seeking a deeper understanding of self in the world.

Excellent Guide Book
