One Idea

There are hundreds of English language books and videos now available on qigong and the internal martial arts. On the Internet even more information can be found. The temptation is to collect more and more of this information, as if possessing information is the way to improve.
I can guarantee that all this information is incomplete. Without practice and experience the internal arts do not exist. And no book or video can replace this.
Take one lesson from one book. Until you understand how this relates to your practice, no further information is required
