## What is Embryonic Breathing Qigong?

Tap into your inner power with this streaming video by Master Yang! Learn Embryonic Breathing, the fundamental training for opening the third eye and striving toward enlightenment. Dr. Yang teaches in English, with English/Spanish subtitles.
In this lesson, Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming delves deeper into his qigong theory, from the bestselling “Understanding Qigong DVD3”.  You’ll learn the rarely taught fine points of how to training the powerful Embryonic Breathing technique, which until recently was only taught within the monastery.
• Learn to conserve and store your Qi to abundant levels
• Develop excellent health and vitality and enjoy deep relaxation
• Establish the root of spiritual enlightenment
Also known as ‘back to childhood breathing’, this qigong meditation technique is the foundation of internal cultivation and advanced practice, and practitioners can sometimes seem to ‘age in reverse’. Embryonic breathing develops excellent health and wellbeing and increases your sensitivity and awareness.
Dr. Yang's systematic approach to teaching offers deep insight into the ancient art of Qigong with modern scientific data to support his theory from both an Eastern and Western perspective.

Drawing on over 40 years of training in Qigong and his Western scientific background in Physics and Mechanical Engineering, Dr. Yang presents a clear and fascinating explanation of his Qigong theory, and offers a simple Qigong exercise for students to begin experiencing their Qi. This program is a must for Qigong practitioners, acupuncturists, energy healers, and anyone interested in understanding exactly how and why Qigong works.
Qi-Gong means "energy-work". Qigong (chi kung) is the ancient art of building the body's Qi (energy) to a higher level and circulating it throughout the body for rejuvenation and health.

Qigong increases the quantity of energy in the body, and improves the quality of your circulation through energy pathways, known as meridians.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2019-04-03*

I own the in app purchase to this and many other YMAA apps but they have become unavailable on SIX of them (at £9.99 each!!) and the developer is ignoring my calls for help!! That is £54 down the drain and a very uneasy feeling that one is not safe purchasing in the Apple store...

### 1/5 — Previously purchased but no longer available!

*2018-09-09*

I bought this app prior to it offering in-app purchase, but upon trying to restore IAP it said there was none to restore.  Would really appreciate support so I may enjoy this material once again.

### 5/5 — This is great esoteric knowledge

*2017-04-26*

This app is one of the few that I downloaded and purchased and I have to say I'm glad I made the decision. I have learned a lot and you get to practice very powerful breathing/focus techniques that aren't normally discussed or well versed in the west.

### 5/5 — Better meditation, deeper relaxation

*2017-02-07*

Embryonic breathing is an ancient secret method, the basis within all meditation traditions.

### 5/5 — Excellent Teaching

*2016-09-27*

Clear, knowledgeable in content and experience. Clarified many things I've been exploring, and confirmed. Dr. Yang has done a great service with his work. Thank you so very much. For anyone seeking a deeper understanding and experience of TaiChi/Qigong, I highly recommend this publication.
