Qi Gong uses sequences of gentle movement and meditative concentration on the body’s energy centres to stimulate, balance and unblock the subtle energies that keep us physically and mentally healthy and strong.

Developed over several thousands of years, Qi Qong exercises heal mind and body by mentally stimulating the same miridians that are used in acupunture. Gradually the blocked energy channels become cleared, reawakening the feeling of being full of life and free of aches and pains. Qi Qong will rebalance with exercises for either the whole body or for very specific areas – such as a lower back problem or a recurrent headache.

As well as an effective system for re-establishing basic good health, Qi Qong is recognised as an excellent tool for personal development and achieving peak performance in all areas of life.

This fully integrated colour book looks at:

The ancient history of Qi Qong
� Qi Qong, stress and health
� Different styles of Qi Qong
� How to find a Qi Qong teacher – includes directory of reputable Qi Qong teachers.
