About this title

About the Author:

Qingshan Liu has practiced Qigong and Taijiquan since his childhood. He learned this thousand year old art from several famous masters in China and was acknowledged as a master, even as a youth, after he successfully passed rigorous exams. Liu studied modern Western Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine, including acupuncture, acupressure, and Tuina-Anmo therapeutic massage at the Beijing Union Medical College in China.

From Booklist:

Liu discusses the philosophy of qi and the practice of qigong, then presents a 20-minute routine consisting of 18 qigong harmony exercises that he recommends performing three times daily. Photographs sequentially demonstrate each of the 18 exercises, which involve chest expansion, arm movement, head turning, and relaxed foot motion. Liu also introduces and explains additional qigong harmony exercises. For those interested in learning to execute these basic classical Chinese health exercises, this is a good starting point.
