This healing and harmonizing music is based on I CHING,
the 5000-year-old Asiatic symbol language, the Book of Changes. Each of the eight trigrams have been characteristically interpreted in contemporary musical compositions. The musical conception is based on the two fundamental symbols of YIN and YANG, illustrated with two diagrams in the booklet to show the connection with I CHING and Chinese medicine. As a meditative self-healing therapy, Master Wang's QiGong book is also based on this ancient taoism, on the Tai Chi conception of the relationship between body and soul.

Chinese medicine uses an energy-meridian system working on several levels. With its efficient methods of therapy (Acupuncture, Acupressure and Shiatsu), Chinese Medicine has introduced new dimensions to our Western approach. The nervous system connects the body, consisting of 206 bones, to the brain. The fact that the stimulating exercises with various acupuncture points via 54 hand and finger bones reach a quarter of our brain explains the healing effects on our inner organs. Master Wang recommends meditative music with its relaxing influence in order to support the therapeutic effects of the exercises.

Each of these eight CD titles offers a wholesome harmony with the appropriate finger exercises in a stimulating atmosphere. South Germany based composer, arranger and musician Frank Steiner jr. and producer and soundengineer Ulrich Gitschier worked with several musicians using acoustic and electronic instruments for this eclectic fusion of "east meets west" type of classical crossover, contemplative symphony.
