We must learn what the emotional root cause of the blockage is before we then intentionaly release it through meditation and Qigong. It\u2019s vital to do this, in order to effect a \u201cprocess of change for personal transformation and healing.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nWhat is Wuji Qigong?

In the section of Serrano\u2019s book that discusses this, we also learn the importance of the number twelve in Taoist numerology, Sacred Geometry, and the Chinese calendar. As the author notes, twelve is \u201crelated to the 12 meridians in your body, and the 12 hour \u2018chi clock\u2019 of their flow cycle.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nI can\u2019t cover every topic the book discusses, but I really liked reading the translated quotes from the Tao Te Ching (The Classic Way).
