Qigong for Health and Vitality is the first truly accessible, introductory guide to this three-thousand-year-old for Chinese healing.Michael Tse now teaches in London, and is adept at presenting Qigong's "secrets" to a Western audience. In clear text, and with the help of more than one hundred photographs, he provides step-by-step instructions for two types of Qigong exercises: those that improve balance, flexibility, strength, and circulation (especially good for anyone who sits all day in an office or car); and those that derive from tai chi chaun and are learned as a short "moving program" that increases internal energy (chi) and can be used to treat specific health problems. In Qigong for Health and Vitality, Michael Tse, a Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) master trained by some of China's finest Qigong pra

Sue-Ellen Beauregard. Readers interested in exploring Eastern forms of exercise should take a look at this one. From Booklist In this lucid introduction to the ancient Chinese health exercise known an Qigong, Hong Kong native Tse expertly guides readers through the origins and philosophy of Qigong before offering illustrated, step-by-step instructions. Tse concludes with advice on meditation and proper breathing. After a discussion of the benefits of Qigong (stress reduction, improved posture, weight loss, etc.), the volume presents clear, sequentially arranged directions for executing the precise movements that mimic animals (e.g., a "peeping" monkey and a flying pigeon) or rely on simple balancing and other continuous actions
Five Stars Steven V Simple and easy exercises!! Buy the video from his website!! Great to see the movements in action!!. "Excellent book, better than physical therapy for me!" according to Roberta. 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. "Great exercises" according to Kathleen Levac. I really like the Balancing and Tai Chi qigong exercise series that he shares in this book. I find them easy to do and very beneficial. I thought the intro section was a nice introduction to Chinese Medicine and qigong. I recommend this book to my qigong students.
