The secret of traditional Chinese healing is that it treats you as a whole person.

Instead of going to see a different specialist for every part of your body, you can practice chi kung to achieve good health, fitness, disease prevention, cure-and relaxation-all at the same time.

This ancient art of self-discipline combines healing of mind and body through a system of practices that includes breathing, massage, relaxation, exercise, posture, and meditation.

Almost immediately after each workout sequence, you'll feel your whole body reacting and responding in unity!

Your introduction to chi kung begins with a comparison to Western methods, especially the training and the methods of the practitioner. Hundreds of helpful photos and a brief, easy-to-read text show you the sequences of chi kung, the meaning of 'channels' and 'collaterals,' yin and yang, and the chi that helps you become more focused and invigorated.

Discover how these ancient teachings are being appreciated once again, in the light of current research into modern respiratory, circulatory, digestive, and immune systems. See for yourself why holistic healing is the most effective approach of all.
