DESCRIPTION:
Now with The Way of Qigong, the power and clarity of qigong is finally available to all of us. This is truly a volume that will enlighten, instruct, enliven, and delight all who use it..

null said Extremely useful guide book to keep on hand!. A great guide to qigong, very comprehensive and informative. Mostly complete with a great deal of history, science and illustrations to teach proper qigong exercises.

Jim Harris said There are several other GREAT texts on Qigong. My Bible! There are several other GREAT texts on Qigong, this one is an inexhaustible resource! I keep TWO copies, one for upstairs and one for down! Ken has several wonderful recordings on Audible too! Along with Paul Gallagher's Drawing Silk you would have everything you need for success (and a living teacher helps immensely!!). Absolutely the best and most comprehensive discussion of the history of qQgong Absolutely the best and most comprehensive discussion of the history of qQgong I have found. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the study and practice of Qigong.
