Qigong for health

Great explanations on what Ti Chi is and how and why you use it to be healthy.

Excellent book, better than physical therapy for me!

I love this book. When I had neck problems, I went to physical therapy which helped me some. Then I started doing these qigong exercises daily and they helped me so much more than physical therapy and were much more fun. I made them a part of my day and enjoy the easy workout. I can always tell when I do them which muscles are tight, where I might be stiff and sore that day.Doing them makes every day start off a little nicer. Michael's pictures and explanations make sense, you have to give each one time to sink in but they give all the information you need to do them correctly, unlike other qigong books. The more difficult moves have multiple pictures so you really get the idea. I find that if I do all of the exercises in the order he presents them, it is a thorough stretch for each muscle group and by the time I am done, I feel energetic and ready for my day. It doesn't matter how fit or unfit you are, you can do these and benefit from them. As a result of doing these daily for over five years now, I almost never have a sore neck and recently have added Tai Chi to my regimen too, thanks to this book as my start into Chinese Martial Arts. I am so happy I found it, the best one I have seen yet! Five stars for sure. My 80 year old mother uses my book so much I am getting her a copy so I can get mine back, and am giving each of my siblings a copy so they can feel great too.

Very helpful

As a complete beginner to Qigong, I find this an invaluable guide for my daily practice. Michael writes a comprehensive, but not overly lengthy history and analysis of Qigong, then explains with excellent photos and text how to perform each exercise. Highly recommended for anyone beginning the practice of this effective form of healing.
