As a Tai Chi student, I find this CD to be wonderful even though it's intended for the Chi Gong exerciser. It helps me to relax and meditate. There is only one track on the CD and it's almost 46 minutes long. You just can't jump from one song to the next but that's OK because once you start listening to this music you won't want to stop. The soothing melody relaxes you much like a Mozart or Brahms arrangement.

I am a very new student of Tai Chi, and I was having a lot of trouble blocking out my thoughts and the distractions around me, and had trouble concentrating fully on the breathing and motions during practice. Listening to this CD while practicing, I felt like I fully experienced the flow of energy (Chi) for the first time. It was such a wonderful feeling that I didn't want to stop! I still have so very much to learn, but I feel that the music dramatically improved my concentration, and increased my confidence in going from one move to the next more naturally, smoothly and gracefully. I do not like the dramatic introduction on the CD, but it doesn't last very long at all. Keep listening, because after the short, rather obnoxious introduction the music is just wonderful. For me, it created just the right mood and is just the right speed to practice Tai Chi. This was my favorite of 3 CD's I bought for this purpose.

A resounding grandeur acompanies the beginning and end of this meditative work. Its ebb and flow of melody excites and eases tension, pulling you along its intricate path, only if you wish to follow. This path is wrought mainly with strings, with little precussion, and some inlfuence of wind/horn instruments.

This music is never really obtrusive, and provides a pleasant alternative to silence (to those who value silence), or perhaps as an aid to blocking out other distracting sounds around you. Good for chi work; or simply as a backround wash while working on other projects.

This music (1 track of 45 mn) has been especially written for Chan One Finger Qi Gong from Shaolin Temple. But is also wonderful music for any type of qi gong. I do not use it for meditation as there are some more dynamic parts in it, but I like it for standing exercices.

Very soothing, relaxing music. I listen to it when I'm tired and want to relax or for my massage sessions. It's just beautiful music.

This is an excellent CD for the practice of chi gong,tai chi or just relaxing at the end of the day.

This CD is wonderful! It's one long track so you don't have to concern yourself with song titles or program numbers. I prefer it to silence because it gets me in a creative flow & helps keep me in the flow. It helps me write by drowning out extraneous noises, with no words to confuse the sentences forming in my head. The music is very nice and soothing although I do want to mention to you that there is a slight tense spot near the beginning of the track. I used to wonder why they put it in but now I understand the wisdom of it. It allows you to gather up any tension that you already are carrying with you and release it, allowing you to float gently on the wind blowing slowly through ancient Chinese forests. You can even visit a temple there and speak to your sage if you wish. I do practice chi gong, and although I don't practice chi gong to this music, it would work as background music for that, especially if you have annoying noises around. Highly recommended!

I found this CD very pleasant to listen to - and relax and was great for the intended purpose
