Editorial Review:
Revolution is generally considered something external, explosive. In this book, Bruce Frantzis, renowned chi master and author, challenges readers to embark on an inner revolution to reclaim joy and happiness in life, reverse the effects of aging and release their stress and negative emotions.Chi adepts can consciously feel and work with all the acupuncture meridians, internal organs and other structures in their own bodies. Yet these are skills that most Westerners would consider to be something out of science fiction and absolutely impossible to achieve in real life. Drawing on forty years of training in ancient Chinese practices, Frantzis provides readers with new and startling insights about how life-force energy—chi—can help them achieve enduring health and wellbeing. “The smooth, balanced flow of your life-force energy is the single most important determinant to your health, vitality and happiness,” he says. Instead of the “no pain, no gain,” mantra of our over-caffeinated, stressed out culture, Frantzis gives readers energetic fitness exercises that comprise the unique Chi Rev Workout™. These transformative exercises teach readers to activate and strengthen their chi and to relax their nervous systems. “The more you relax, the more health, stamina and strength you will have,” says Frantzis. Frantzis reveals how once closely guarded and ancient secrets of chi are the power behind:
—Spirituality, prayer and meditation.
—Acupuncture and the potent self-healing methods of chi gung (qigong) and Taoist yoga.
—Enhanced sexual vitality and intimate relationships.
—Internal martial arts, such as tai chi.
—Divination methods of the I Ching.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good Overview Product
This is my second book from the author. It is great introductory material on the benefits of Chi. However, it is VERY basic and merely for overview of the benefits of building up your energy system.
In my opinion this book in conjunction with Robert Bruce's 'Energy Work'(The BEST hands on RESULTS oriented book) are an excellent starting point. Also, 'Opening the Energy Gates of the Body' would be a natural companion to these.
Rating:  - Chi Revolution
This a great book for introducing Chi. I felt that there was too much time spent on what it is and not enough of how to work with it.
Rating:  - Buy This Book
I am a long time student of Buddhist and Taoist themes. Recently, because of a cancer diagnosis and resulting bacterial and fungal pneumonia I have had to rebuild my body from the ground up. This book has been an invaluable part of that process.
Rating: - I am no longer powerless to change my attitudes, thoughts, and outlook
1. Experience how deeply troubled you are about an unwanted occurrence, emotion, or illness, and become aware of your anger and resentment toward it. Become conscious of your resistance to it. You must experience the feelings about unwanted occurrences or illness in your life, so you can begin to heal. "I have created this hurt and sadness by forgetting my essence".
2. See and realize how you are powerless to change the past or the fact that the unwanted occurrence or illness has occurred. ... Read More
Rating:  - 3 stars for the book minus 1 for the deception
I think Mr. Frantzis is a good teacher, but I don't think this is his best book. There's a little too much new age type cheerleading about how this book will start a chi revolution that will improve everything from our health to world peace. It also re-enforces the tired, old stereotype that westerners don't know how to move, stand, relax, or breathe and Asian philosophy has all the necessary remedies.
BTW, did you know that Mr. Frantzis has published books under the names of Kumar Frantzis, ... Read More
