The careful body movements of the ancient Chinese Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) style are combined with innovative meditative techniques in this guide to spiritual calm. Qigong, or Chinese yoga, is a body–mind excercise that creates wellness and health by cultivating the Qi, or life-force energy. This mental exercise is combined with a regimen of simple arm, leg, and body movements in the Qigong style that results in a state of total spiritual calm. The step-by-step exercise routine is provided visually in the book and on the included audio CD.
