In this short and unusual work Stephen Elliott and put forward a practical and philosophical discussion of a very ancient Taoist practice for promoting health, well-being, and longevity that they refer to as “Wuji” Qi Gong.
Wuji Qi Gong is the author’s interpretation of the mysterious Can Tong Qi, generally considered to be the first Taoist book on internal alchemy, thought to date back to the 1400s. As most Taoist canons the Can Tong Qi is written in cryptic language, where to comprehend, one must understand what is meant.
This is not the name given to the practice in the Can Tong Qi, but “Wuji” is the theme, hence the author’s chose “Wuji Qi Gong” for the practice described in the book.
Together Lin and Elliott translate and interpret the Mandarin, Lin with her extensive understanding of Chinese Medicine and Taoist literature, and Elliott with his long experience in deep internal practice. The outcome is surprising, and even more profound, their theory is supported by the Yi Jing, making clear that the Yi Jing was the theoretical context for the writing of the Can Tong Qi in the first place. No surprise, in retrospect.
The practice of Wuji Qi Gong involves “integration” of the four primordial elements, Air, Earth, Fire, and Water, in effect reordering the elements in man such that they promote life vs. consume it, the outcome being health, vitality, and longevity, vs. decay and death.
