5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a Qigong practice for the rest of us..., February 28, 2006

This review is from: Natural Healing With Qigong: Therapeutic Qigong (Paperback)

I've been using LianGong (another name for this specific therapeutic Qigong for a while. It consists of 3 sets of 18 exercises each one. Personally, I only practice the first set. It makes me feel well and produces a palpable benefit in my whole body. Its movements are easy to perform and the clear instructions and pictures in the book are more than enough to guide us through these sets. An important point, at least for myself, is to perform the exercises very slowly. The more slowly I practice them, the more deep are the results.

4.0 out of 5 stars I like Wen Mei Yu's book ls slightly better, but this is a fine intro to Lian Gong, July 29, 2007

This review is from: Natural Healing With Qigong: Therapeutic Qigong (Paperback)

One of the strengths of Lian Gong Shr Ba Fa is that it is the sort of exercise system that actually can be learned from the printed page if you are reasonably well coordinated and are good at learning from books. Even without a teacher, you can get major benefits from practice on your own.

This book is a clear, well done presentation of the exercises. Anyone interested in learning the system would get a good start from this book. I would only recommend Wen Mei Yu's version over this one because a) WMY's book explicitly announces that it is a Lian Gong with its title on the cover, and B) the layouts, photographs and book design are somewhat more effective and pleasing to my eye, and c) the accompnaying instructional text is a bit clearer and more helpful to the beginner.

But if you want to get started, and you see this book on the stands, don't hesitate to get it and get started.

Heartland Review

Those of us with martial art backgrounds have a fascination for the manipulation of the power of the body's energy field-Chi or Ki. The Chinese use the spelling, Qi. Qi Gong, pronounced Chi Kung, which loosely translates as "Energy Practice." The use of mild stretching movements coupled with breathing exercises and visualization techniques has been around for a long time. The author, a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner has taken it to a higher level with this book, using Qigong to develop a body environment conducive to health restoration and disease prevention.

The author does a good job explaining the meanings and benefits of the practice, which is easier than Tai Chi. She uses excellent photos and captions to lead the reader through the movements.
