The Way of Virtue: Qigong Meditations to Cultivate Perfect Peace in an Imperfect World

"When we practice Qigong," writes Master Robert Peng, "every day can become a good, high-energy day."

The Way of Virtue offers an accessible introduction to the potent practice of Qigong meditation. This seven-day program of Daoist meditation and chanting offers the opportunity to cultivate a consistent practice and invite profound changes in health and well-being – both physically and emotionally. After an overview of Qigong basics, each day introduces a healing sound – a tone to chant – a meditation, and a subtle physical practice that helps us connect our emotions to the organs in our bodies to release hidden or stagnant energy and recharge our systems with health and vitality.

The book explores the challenging emotions of anger, stress, worry, grief, and fear and invites enthusiasm, joy, confidence, forgiveness, and growth. Teaching the organ system and meridian lines, as well as healing sounds and colours, the book helps us change our perception, connect more deeply with ourselves and with nature, and offers tools to revitalise our everyday experience.

Reviews

"It is impossible to express in a few lines the breadth and depth of this remarkable book. In The Way of Virtue, Robert Peng has brought to life those ancient Daoist and Buddhist teachings that can transform our understanding and way of being in the world. He writes with an accessible simplicity that lays out a profound map of spiritual insight and invites us to engage with life-changing practices that have borne fruit for thousands of years. His many examples are incisively apt, often expressed with a lightness and humor that captivates the reader. It's rare to come across a book that is so comprehensive in its scope, so practical in its application, and so inspiring in its effect. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to explore for themselves the great illuminating mystery of Dao." —Joseph Goldstein, author of Mindfulness

"It is not surprising that the classic of Daoism is called The Classic of the Way and Its Virtue, because it is, after all, virtue and behavior that reveal our philosophy of life and allow us to be of service in the world. Robert Peng's The Way of Virtue is an expression of this great truth. His book masterfully intertwines ethics and Daoist wisdom, providing tangible and practical insights into everyday life. The inclusion of transformative practices like the Wogu hand seal, the Ong Ahh Hong chant, and nuanced descriptions of Healing Sounds enriches the narrative, making it a compelling read. Whether you are new to Asian healing arts or an experienced practitioner, The Way of Virtue will inspire and guide you to a new level of understanding and vibrant well-being." —Kenneth Cohen, author of The Way of Qigong
