In tranquility, the body and mind are quiet and settled. Positive feelings prevail over negative feelings, and a sense of connection with the deeper self, and the force of nature rises. In Tranquility Through Movement, Sang H. Kim presents a sequence of 12 mindful movements to promote and sustain a tranquil inner state in the face of stress and uncertainty.

The goal of each movement is to deliberately collect unhealthy tension that is held in the body and disperse it to help your body become tension neutral. These gentle movements can be modified for beginners or done as recommended for a more advanced challenge to balance and coordination. An excellent daily home practice routine that can be done anywhere you can stand and stretch your arms.

“As a medical doctor who appreciates the impact of daily stress on the body and the value of seeing body as an integrated system, the techniques presented as MBX-12 is a refreshing blend of the mental and physical.”

— Jarrod Post, MD

Mindful Movement: Mastering Your Hidden Energy is a guide to invigorating your internal Ki energy flow through a unique sequence of 12 movements (MBX-12) targeting the 12 meridian energy channels. MBX-12 brings together mindful movement and deep breathing to create an active form of moving meditation.

As you learn the exercises that make up the MBX-12 routine, you'll develop an understanding of the mindfulness practice principles of attention, centering and release. Sang H. Kim introduces the movements of MBX with step-by-step practice guidance, focal points, self-assessment criteria, wellness applications and detailed explanations of how mindful movement influences your inner energy flow. You'll also learn 13 MBX Mudras, symbolic hand movements that activate the 6 meridians in the hand and affect energy flow across the body.

Throughout the book, short readings introduce you to the four pillars of energy transformation: mindfulness, movement, breath, and meridians. For experienced mind-body practitioners, MBX-12 is an excellent supplement to other mindful movement practice such as Yoga, Taichi, and Qigong. MBX-12 integrates your moving body with your breath, redirects energy flow along the 12 meridians, and unites the mind with all in the present.
