Cultivating Stillness by Eva Wong
A principal part of the Taoist canon for many centuries, this Lao-Tzu classic is an essential overview of the Taoist practice of internal alchemy, or qigongEquanimity, good health, peace of mind, and long life are the goals of the ancient Taoist tradition known as "internal alchemy," of which Cultivating Stillness is a key text. Written between the second and fifth centuries, the book is attributed to T'ai Shang Lao-chun--the legendary figure more widely known as Lao-Tzu, author of the Tao-te Ching. The accompanying commentary, written in the nineteenth century by Shui-ch'ing Tzu, explains the alchemical symbolism of the text and the methods for cultivating internal stillness of body and mind.
A key text in the Taoist canon, Cultivating Stillness is still the first book studied by Taoist initiates today.
Eva Wong is a self-taught scholar and practitioner of the Pre-Celestial Way and Full Reality lineages of Taoist arts. Several works on Taoism and related themes have been written and translated by her, including Taoism: An Essential Guide, Cultivating Stillness, and A Master Course in Feng-shui.
