Stories of ordinary people exercising extraordinary strength in moment of extreme danger illustrate the amazing presence of Ki -- the universal life force that can be called upon. In this book, Dr. Scott Shaw presents techniques for strengthening the Ki with which you are born, and for consciously harnessing the Ki around you to help you through the many periods of duress that daily life presents. These secrets Korean methods will give you access to needed energy "on request" so that you can draw on inner power to get you through whatever challenge you may meet -- physical, mental, or emotional.

An important step is learning how to use Ki is understanding how it flows through the channels (or meridians) in the body. Shaw describes each meridian's function, the indications of Ki blockage in the meridians, and the method of immediately stimulating Ki flow through them. He also suggests diet changes that can improve Ki flow, in addition to showing you how actively focus Ki into specific regions of the body or into your mental functioning. With meditation, breathing, concentration, and relaxation exercises, you can consciously participate in life with Ki energy, instead of unconsciously letting life happen to you.
