  • "Return to Oneness with Shiva," is the fifth book in Canadian author Richard Serrano's series on pranic healing for the Integral Studies of Inner Sciences. The four Enlightenment Qigong forms synthesized and taught by Serrano, R.Ac., applied individually or in combination with spontaneous Tibetan Shamanic Qigong and Merkab/Shaktipat meditation, provide a basic foundation for understanding and experiencing both spiritual enlightenment and healing of the self and others, through contemplations with movement and non-moving meditation, wherein the practitioner is enabled "to return to oneness by connecting oneself with heaven, earth and humanity."

    The earliest written record of Qigong as a healing technique was written during the Han Dynasty (240 B.C.). At that time classic Chinese medicine was a quasi-religious system. Serrano goes to great lengths to expose the reader to the varied and eclectic forms in which it is practiced today throughout the world. He has constantly contemplated the teachings and meditation practices of the great Masters, adding the integration of Qigong with Siddha meditation as his contribution.

    "Return to Oneness with Shiva" has dozens of quotations and references as well as many beautiful and powerful meditations. For a reader unfamiliar with Eastern spiritualism and medicine, the vocabulary can be a bit daunting, but well worth patient effort. For the reader already immersed in a spiritual journey, the book will be a treasure of shared and new experiences. Serrano has studied many paths to healing and returning to oneness and he presents them with clarity and reverence. He has given us a literature that rewards careful and repeated reading and contemplation.

    Understandably, Serrano believes that it greatly benefits a person on a spiritual quest for healing, self-mastership, and soul-realization to have guidance. Throughout the past thirty years he has experienced his most powerful transformative experiences while under the guidance of great Masters. He encourages his readers, therefore, to attend his healing, mediation and Qigong workshops (one can find information about these online at innerway.ca.). Whether or not you are able to take advantage of these, bookreview.com believes you will find "Return to Oneness with Shiva" an excellent addition to your spiritual and healing library.
