acknowledgments

The author wishes to thank Mantak Chia for helping to make this book possible. Much of the material in 100 Days to Better Health, Good Sex & Long Life is derived from my fifteen years of study with Master Chia as a student, an instructor, and a senior instructor for The Healing Tao.

I thank Healing Tao Books and Juan Li for allowing me to redraw many of the illustrations found in this book.

I wish to acknowledge Aurora Press for publishing Mantak Chia's first two books: Awaken Healing Energy througfr the Tao and Taoist Secrets oj Love: Cultivating Male Sexual Energy. Much of the oral teachings that I learned directly from Master Chia were subsequently written down in both of them.

I wish to thank Master Yun Xiang Tseng for his assistance in providing me with an accurate picture of Chi Kung as it is currently practiced in China.

I wish to thank all of the authors listed in the bibliography. Each one of them furthered my knowledge of the Tao.

In 100 Days to Better Health, Good Sex & Long Life I have done my best to present an accurate description of Chi Kung and the practices of the Taoists. The manner and form of its construction is uniquely my own and I ultimately bear responsibility for its success or failure.
