Qi Gong is one of the treasures of Chinese culture and rests essentially on awareness of the breath (Qi) and harmony between body and mind. This ancestral practice includes many methods drawn from the Taoist and Buddhist schools and from Chinese medicine. All develop three essential aspects: XING (movement), QI (breathing, breath) and SHEN (concentration of mind, awareness).

This practical and accessible book allows you to progress at your own pace along the path of balance between body and mind, whatever your physical condition. Accompanied by a DVD of narrated exercises, it is the fruit of long experience teaching Qi Gong in the West. In it, Ke Wen presents an innovative method combining the quintessence of traditional Qi Gong with a clear teaching approach. We are gradually led to understand a Chinese culture in which the body and nature are enlivened by the breaths.

Three parts guide the learning: the basic movements of Qi Gong to circulate energy; the postures to strengthen energy; the theoretical basics to understand how energy works.
