4.0 out of 5 stars Good Chi Kung Theory, Oct 20 1998
By W. Lambdin "Two Bears" (Ellensburg, WA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Root of Chinese Qigong: Secrets of Health, Longevity, & Enlightenment (Paperback)
This book has very good Chi Kung theory, descriptions of 13 breathing exercizes, and adequate drawings showing where the energy meridians occur on the body. However; in my opinion this book is unsafe for beginners with no Chi Kung experience. Zorrik Voldman (wrote one of the reviews below) recommended two books by the same author. I haven't read either of those books yet so I am unable to confirm or deny his statements. Currently I only recommend two books for beginners with no Chi Kung experience. Chi Kung: for Health and Vitality (Wong Kiew Kit) The Way of Energy (Lam Kam Chuen) Either of these books, along with "The Root of Chinese Qigong" will give you a good foundation in Chi Kung

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book on Qigong theory, Jun 5 2004
By Mycroft (Rio Linda, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Root of Chinese Qigong: Secrets of Health, Longevity, & Enlightenment (Paperback)
One of the best books on Qigong theory I've found and I've read many. While I would not call it a beginner book it is clear & to the point.

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Root of Chinese Qigong: Secrets of Health, Longevity, & Enlightenment (Paperback)
I bought this in my third year of Chinese Medical school. It is one of my most prized resources. This explains concepts very clearly, keeping in mind the cultural diffrences, and with out being condicending to the reader.
