Understanding Qigong (1) by Yang, Jwing Ming


Drawing on his 40 years of training in Qigong and his Western scientific background in Physics and Mechanical Engineering, Dr. Yang presents a clear and fascinating explanation of his Qigong theory, and offers a simple Qigong exercise for students to begin experiencing their Qi. This program is a must for Qigong practitioners, acupuncturists, energy healers, and anyone interested in understanding exactly of how and why Qigong works.

If you've never attended a Qigong theory seminar with Dr. Yang, here's a home version you won't want to miss! This is DVD one of a six-DVD series. 
The Chinese word Qigong (pronounced "chee • gong") means 'energy work'. Qigong is the ancient art of using the mind to naturally develop the body's Qi (energy) for improved health and longevity. Some Qigong is practiced sitting or standing still, while other Qigong can be a kind of moving meditation.

As millions of people worldwide are turning to Chinese medicine and healing practices such as Qigong and Tai Chi, it is important to understand what Qigong is and how it works. In these two video courses, renowned Qigong expert and author Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming explains the concepts of Qigong and the human energetic circulatory system. Dr. Yang's systematic approach to teaching offers deep insight into the subject of Qigong with modern scientific data to support his theory from both an Eastern and Western perspective. 
Chi (or qi) is not just a spiritual phenomenon in T'ai Chi, but it is also a physical experience.  It is something you can generate, and feel, as can others you practice with.  I am glad to hear, then, that Dr. Yang draws on his scientific and engineering background to help us better understand chi.
