qigong for idiots
|
There are some dozen exercies that are great for the health and body. They are well illustrated and described.
The book goes into simple detail about the background of qigong and its system in chinese medicine.
The book states that it is for beginners and does not overly burden the westerner with detail. This it achieves!
For a more in depth study of qigong theory look elsewhere. For a dozen or so good exercises this it does well. But still I wanted more information and more exercises. If your like me then I recommend you get one of Lam's 'way of' series and forget this.

A terrific self-healing guide!

The market is flooded with qigong (chi kung) books. The magazines are filled with "masters" of this esoteric discipline. There are classes in every major city across the world. So how do we, as novices, determine which system or master is best-siuted to us? We try them and stick with what works. For 30 years I have suffered from migraines, chronic spinal pain, and a general lack of energy. I have tried the Western treatments of massage, chiropractic, and bio-feedback. Nothing worked. I thenpurchased this little book of qigong exercises by FaXiang Hou and Mark Wiley, I practiced the self-healing exericises as described for three months. The result: I am pain free!!! I am truly amazed at the efficacy of the exercises, and even at the seemingly simple presentation of the material in the book. It does not bog the reader down with heavy discourse, philosophy, or Eastern thought. What it does do is offer in clear language the exercises needed to build and maintain vital energy (qi) in the body to relieve and prevent pain and illness. It works and you should by this book if all else has failed!
