Qigong for Health & Vitality

Więcej o książce

In this comprehensive guide, Michael Tse, a Qigong master trained by elite practitioners in China, introduces the philosophy and practice of Qigong, a Traditional Chinese Medicine that integrates breathing, posture, and movement to cultivate internal energy and enhance well-being. This accessible resource serves as an introductory text to a three-thousand-year-old healing tradition. Now teaching in London, Tse effectively communicates Qigong's principles to a Western audience. He explores its profound benefits for stress reduction and chronic conditions like backache, hypertension, insomnia, asthma, arthritis, and headaches. The book features clear instructions supported by over one hundred photographs, outlining two types of Qigong exercises: those aimed at improving balance, flexibility, strength, and circulation—ideal for individuals with sedentary lifestyles—and a short "moving program" derived from tai chi that boosts internal energy (chi) for specific health issues. Additionally, Tse shares special Qigong meditation techniques designed to relax and recharge the body’s energy, enhancing its natural healing capabilities. Master Tse’s approach makes learning Qigong enjoyable and accessible, promising immediate and lasting health benefits.
