Xing Bu Gong is a practical guide to a traditional Chinese health practice that turns ordinary walking into a structured exercise for body and mind. No gym membership, no equipment — just walk.

What's inside?

The book begins with the history and theory of walking Qigong, then presents five distinct methods from five major Chinese traditions — Confucian, Taoist, Buddhist, medical, and martial arts:-11

• Aibu Xingbu Gong (Confucian): A simple practice with three posture levels — high and medium for health and healing, low for martial training

• Xiaoyao Xingbu Gong (Taoist): Combines body movement, standing meditation, and mindfulness to harmonize body, breath, and mind-11

• Buddhist Walking Meditation: Uses walking as a gateway to deep meditative stillness

• Guo Lin New Qigong (Medical): A therapeutic walking practice developed to help prevent and manage chronic illness-11

• Bagua Xingbu Gong (Martial Arts): From the Bagua school, featuring both linear and circular walking techniques for those who want to build real martial skill-11

Each method includes step-by-step body mechanics, practice instructions, and meridian diagrams.
