Been reading Dr. Yang's book "Qigong, the Secret of Youth" which is yi jin jing and xi sui jing qigong. Havent gotten into studying yet but beginning to understand the potential dangers especially in the xi sui jing.
My question for now is really rather simple I think: Is the 8 brocades another dynamic qigong of very similar goals. As I understand it, yi jin jing and 8 Brocades both deal with the meridians. Does anyone understand more in depth as to why one should begin yijin jing? One thing that comes to my attention is that it appears the yi jin jing qigong also deals with the 8 special meridians. I am unable to confirm anywhere that the 8 brocades does stimulate those 8 special -it does deal with the "girdle meridian" in the set I follow but dont know if others are actually actively stimulated. Anyone?
I must do a LOT more studying before I get too involved in xi sui jing (if at all). Fantastic book about the qigongs though.
