Just to state the importance of what Frater Draco said about _The 
Empty Force_ by Paul Dong and Thomas Raffill being only for 
theoretical purposes only. If you try to do the exercises contained 
therein without the instruction of a person trained within Taiji 
Quan, Ba Gua Zhang, Xingyi Quan, and/or Yi quan, you're more apt to 
cause yourself a number of physiological problems ranging from back 
to joint problems, and all sorts of potential psychological problems 
due to meridians being flooded with qi before they are ready which 
can cause some neurological problems like the shakes along with 
delusions of grandeure, great spiritual powers, and general, all 
around schizophrenia.

A much safer alternative to practice on your own would be the step 2 
conscious control of the body. Which works on the same principles, 
yet without the same amount of strain placed upon the body.

Love and Live well,
