While training and traveling in Asia, we brought together various books about martial arts, qigong, meditation, and self-improvement. TheFeel.org likes to share some of these rare material with you all. During 46 years of involvement in spiritual, mental and physical development, I noticed that what I was looking for, was not comprehensible expressed in books written on the above-mentioned subjects itself. It was and still is quest for information and verbalized feelings to come to the essence of martial art and practical use in our demanding present-day social and professional life. TheFeel.org have a strong belief that when information flows more freely between cultures and different ways of thinking, many of the present day problems can be solved more efficiently. To support this belief we offer you some abstracts from extraordinary China books to read and overthink.
