Qigong: Foundation Practices: Twelve Health Exercises From The Wah Family System

An excellent overview of QiGong. Very easy to understand how energy flows through the body utilizing the various meridians with the body according to Chinese medicine,

Excellent, concise book, arrived in good time

Good book showing a basic qi gong/nei gong set, and qi gong theory. Nicely structured, and clear. Author does a good job presenting basics of this system. As with any book on qi gong, still life photos do not capture the pace or intent that can be seen on video. Fortunately YouTube also has a video of the 12 exercises, and book and video together are a good instruction set. I recommend this book.

I rate this book five star because of the simplicity John uses to make what would be considered by most complex comprehensible.Secondly not only does he introduce you to the 12 meridians but also their peak time of day in a way that is easy to put into practical use. "Where the mind goes the qi will follow ".Thirdly, for me that is, John demonstrates and instructs on twelve exercises to stimulate the meridians.That is why I rate this and his other books that I've seen so far 5🌟

This book is a n excellent introduction to the basics of chigong. It includes the basic practices with easy to follow pictures and explanations.

I’ve purchased other chi gong books and although this one is short it’s also very detailed and contains great visual photos for each exercise. Enjoyed it! Simple foundations.

Has some good info, I am a reiki practitioner and info align with what I have learned in those studies

I am new to this type of exercise. I did find this book great for my beginning in learning Qigong.

very informative and easy to read

A shame the printed version has a thin, faint font, because it's a REAL struggle to read (the same applies to Mari Silva's QiGong book). I'm in my 70's trying to stay in good shape with diet / exercise etc. QiGong is the natural choice alongside my Reiki - I've tried several books (and many YouTube videos!) on the subject. The Little Book of QiGong (Ken Ward) is a good uncomplicated introduction for the merely curious. Personally my favourites, (for those appreciating more Chinese medicine background), are this book, along with "Pain Free Joints - 46 QiGong Movements" (Dr Yang Jwing- Ming) and "Simple Chi Kung" (Mantak Chia). Whatever, there are plenty of simple routines to just get started!

Very well written and well illustrated. Can't fault this book. If you are a beginner or, like me, needed to brush up my knowledge this book is perfect. High,y recommend.

Compared with 2 other books I received about Qigong, this is well written. Clear, concise and easy to understand. The pictures are black and white photos rather then drawings so they are easy to follow. This is a good beginner book.

This book is a great place to start if you are considering getting into qigong.It is very clearly explained and the illustration are good.It all seems to make perfect sense.
