I wanted to learn qigong but all the books, classes, and videos were waaaaaaaaaay too complicated. I didn't want to be a "master" I just wanted some help with grounding my nervous system. This program of 5 elements was JUST what I was looking for!! Easy to learn and I do it EVERY DAY for five minutes and I feel sooooooo much better!! I can wake up grumpy and achy and after doing 5 element qigong for 5 minutes I'm all put back together. It's a great book. Easy to follow. thanks!!!
