Qigong is Chinese meditation in motion, an ancient healing art using posture, exercise, breathing, and concentration. This video shows you how to harness the power of
qi--the energy of the universe--to heal body and mind.
Qigong uses dynamic, gentle movements and meditative postures. The video starts with a warm-up of whole-body breathing. Then master instructor Ken Cohen teaches a selection of exercise sets to cleanse the body, recharge it with fresh
qi, circulate
qi where it is needed, and disperse stagnant areas. He also teaches a series of healing sounds and techniques of standing meditation and walking meditation, along with posture and self-massage. This is a fine introduction to
qigong, with many months of learning in this one 90-minute video. The setting is outdoors and seems Asian, with rocks, greenery, and a wooden bridge. Informational booklet included.

Very clear and easy to follow instuctions, gentle reminders of important things to remember. Doing just one exercise, including the visualization brought healing. The exercises are gentle and a little does a great deal to bring one back to a natural alive feeling. Personally, relieved all symptoms of fibromyalgia. The feeling of fresh energy that flows thru upon following the video, affected not only the physical, but mental energy feels fresh also. Good clear instruction.
