This review is from: Chi Kung Meditations: Taoist Inner Healing Exercises (Audio Cassette)

The Chinese consider the balance of Chi (vital energy) to be crucial to health. This balance can be accomplished through acupuncture, herbal medicine, movement exercise or using the mind. This tape emphasizes "passive", sitting Chi Kung (literally "breath work").

The tape is both instruction and practice. It starts with simple experiments and observations, progresses to breathing meditation applied to the body and mind, finishing with rare and unusual meditations for the spirit.

Ken Cohen is an internationally recognized scholar and teacher and has been ordained as a Taoist priest. His patient guidance makes it easy for the listener to co-ordinate with the presentation.

There are no extravagant claims here, simply a "treasure" map. On the basis of this tape, I would not hesitate to recommend anything done by Ken Cohen.
