Important Contribution, November 17, 2003
This review is from: Qigong for Staying Young: A Simple 20-Minute Workout to Culitivate Your Vital Energy (Avery Health Guides) (Paperback)
This new book is an important contribution to the rapidly emerging literature on Qigong, Tai Chi, Chinese medicine, complementary and alternative medicine, etc. I found it easy to access, well written and thorough. Along with the books of Roger Jahnke and Ken Cohen, this book will help to inspire millions of people to use the simple self-healing tools developed and refined so carefully and poetically by the Chinese over thousands of years. Also check out these helpful websites: http://www.qigong4everyone.com,

http://www.NQA.org, and
http://www.QigongInstitute.org Qigong, it appears will play a strong role in transforming our culture of heart disease and diabetes to one of health, vitality and longevity. I am so grateful to those ancient masters of inner wisdom and nature's gifts -- and to these contemporary teachers for making these methods for Qi cultivation accessible to our society.

A Must Have, December 5, 2004
This review is from: Qigong for Staying Young: A Simple 20-Minute Workout to Culitivate Your Vital Energy (Avery Health Guides) (Paperback)
"Qigong for Staying Young" has a permanent place on my night table. Shoshanna teaches us how to achieve wellness through the mindful practice of this unique form of gentle exercise. Beautifully written, this book artfully interweaves ancient Chinese medical philosophy into a modern model for understanding what health actually is. Shoshanna's own voice of wisdom and experience guides us through the chapters, providing the inspiration to achieve and maintain balance and wholeness in our lives.
Over time I have studied each chapter in depth as I learned each of the exercise sets individually. Shoshanna's clear, user-friendly language enables the reader to work their way through each set with clarity and ease. Although I have read it from cover to cover, re-read it in sections and referred to it numerous times to address specific health topics, I am amazed to discover that every time I pick it up I learn something new, or deepen my understanding of a previously learned subject.
Shoshanna's book is a gift from her heart and soul, rich beyond words. Those who read it will find it is a resource to be treasured.

Simply Wonderful, October 20, 2006
This review is from: Qigong for Staying Young: A Simple 20-Minute Workout to Culitivate Your Vital Energy (Avery Health Guides) (Paperback)
Qigong (Chi Kung) is a Chinese art and science that means working with and cultivating the vitality of life.This book is an outstanding method to learn this ancient and modern tradition for staying young, healthy, and in harmony with all and everything.
This book's many exercises are simple and easy to understand--no unneeded verbal baggage here. Everything is clear and to the point.
Yet paradoxically the book is encyclopedic in its coverage of what was previously hidden and secret. Shoshanna has studied for many years with masters and has made a vast wealth of practical knowledge available to the student.
There is a DVD--same author and same title--that shows Shoshanna doing the movements, again it is magnificent.
