Editorial Review:Product Description:Qigong is an integrated mind-body healing method that has been practiced with remarkable results in China for thousands of years. The Chinese have long treasured qigong for its effectiveness both in healing and in preventing disease, and more recently they have used it in conjunction with modern medicine to cure cancer, immune system disorders, and other life-threatening conditions. Now in this fascinating, comprehensive volume, renowned qigong master and China scholar Kenneth S. Cohen explains how you too can integrate qigong into your life--and harness the healing power that will help your mind and body achieve the harmony of true health.
Amazon.com Review:Qigong (ch'i kung) is the modern incarnation of a Chinese energy art that goes back over 2,000 years. With superior scholarship and scientific acumen,
The Way of Qigong covers the entire range of theory and practice, including relaxation, meditation, massage, therapeutic touch, and postures. Qi (ch'i) means 'life energy,' and the goal of qigong, master and Chinese scholar Ken Cohen tells us, is 'to train the mind to send qi where it is needed.' In this encyclopedic work, Cohen teaches us not only how to do qigong, but what it means and how it benefits us, from what kind of tea is best in the summer to how to have better sex. Cohen is at his best when reducing arcane Chinese theories to plain English, and as a result,
The Way of Qigong is as interesting as it is useful.

An Excellent Introduction
This is a well-written book that is both informative and a pleasure to read. Ken Cohen provides an interesting overview of the history of Qigong and also provides appropriate instructions to give the reader an introductory taste of Qigong practice.
For anyone serious about learning Qigong, I recommend Ken Cohen's audio/video course "The Essential Qigong Training Course" that is also available here on Amazon.

Excellent step by step book
Although I haven't finished with this lecture, I have found it quite interesting. Language is easy and for a person who has very little experience in this subject, this is a very useful book with lots of interesting data especially scientific ones (this gives the author more credibility). Great book!

The way of Qigong
A great book. Writen simply and clearly to understand the life from the jin and yang phylosophie that is far from being only black and white.
The excercises in the book are easy to follow.
Shipping was fast as well.
