An artist and his wife hold art classes using nude models. Their photographer friend Pete returns from two years in Europe, and they try to convince him he has a promising career in nude photography. He eventually agrees to try it, but finds that the sight of red hair or red nail polish triggers unhealthy impulses, to the detriment of some of his models.

Volume One teaches five basic standing meditations of the Flying Phoenix Celestial Healing Chi Mediation system. Through these basic Flying Phoenix standing meditations, Terry Dunn teaches the three cornerstones of qigong: Shape-form (Xing), Mind or Intent (Yi), and Breath-energy (Chi) method. The first three standing meditations focus qi development at three tan tiens (chakras or energy centers): “Monk Gazing At Moon” at the upper tan tien (third eye or brow chakra), “Monk Holding Peach” at the middle tan tien (heart chakra), “Monk Holding Pearl” at lower tan tien.
