An enjoyable way to learn Qigong,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 2pc:Qigong Beginning Practice (DVD)
"Qigong Beginning Practice" is a two-disc set with a total content time of 2.5 hours. The first disc is the workout demonstrating the exercises and the second disc is an excellent documentary putting the exercises into their historical and cultural context. I bought this DVD because I truly benefited from the "Qigong for Stress Relief" DVD.Francesco Garripoli is an engaging instructor who clearly loves Qigong. The snow-capped mountains in the background are spectacular, the music is great and the demonstrations and explanations are succinct and spot on. A few repetitions and you get it. I took some notes. Sometimes I'll sit back and play the workout disc from beginning to end just to fine-tune the movements and make sure that I'm synchronizing the breathing properly. I particularly like the concluding section of movements aimed at specific illnesses, e.g., if you have sore shoulders do this practice. It has been proven that if people can exert even a small degree of control over their illness it will increase their self confidence and they will get better faster. The only complaint I have with the workout DVD is the menu. There is a lot of material here (some 28-30 exercises) and you have to search for individual exercises linearly, which I found a bit annoying. An index/menu would have helped. Otherwise it's a great DVD for Qigong beginning practice.

An absolute gem!,

This review is from: 2pc:Qigong Beginning Practice (DVD)
This DVD is not only beautiful to look at (in front of a lake with mountains in the background) but the moves are very easy to follow, even if you've never done Qigong before. Internationally acclaimed instructors Francesco and Daisy Lee-Garripoli take their time to explain, so you don't have to keep going backwards in order to follow them. If you only want to purchase one DVD on Qigong, this is THE ONE! It also comes with a bonus CD about Qigong's origins and scientific evidence of its healing effects.

Another opinion...,
By Who Cares? (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 2pc:Qigong Beginning Practice (DVD)
The movements presented are described clearly and performed slowly. My only opinion here is that I became very tired of hearing "chi" or moving "chi" or taking the "chi" hear there and everywhere. Moving "chi" is only another concept, another thought wave in the mind. We don't need to hear about it constantly. For most people, "chi" is so abstract that one can get caught up in it, without feeling what the connection to oneself is really about.
