Learn ancient techniques for harnessing the massive power of qi—literally, the “vital breath” or energy of the universe—with step-by-step guidance on video. Thousands of years before the establishment of Western medicine, teaches Ken Cohen, Chinese masters perfected a system of gentle movements and meditative postures that can channel qi into the body for detoxifying, energizing, and healing. Now, this preeminent qigong master in the West presents these authentic practices, with Qigong: Traditional Chinese Exercises for Healing Body, Mind, and Spirit. Using easy-to-follow language and dozens of demonstrations, you will learn a complete four-part workout you can practice any time you have a few minutes and enough room to stand and stretch. Simple and elegant to practice, qigong offers the perfect way to cultivate a peaceful spirit and healthy body, one breath at a time.
