Ac., unravel the 7000 year old mystery of the "Bagua" or 8 Trigrams of the Yi Jing to reveal one of it's surprising inner meanings - the secret of immortality. In this short and unusual work, Elliott and Lin put forward a praeti-eal and philosophical discussion of this ancient Taoist practice for promoting health, well-being, and longevity that they refer to as Wuji Qi Gong.
