A Complete Guide to Chi-Gung by Daniel P Reid

A guide to the history, theory and practice of chi-gung, the ancient Taoist system of health rooted in movement, breathing, meditation, and massage

Chi-gung,which literally means "energy work"- is a system of cultivating health, vitality, and longevity that is based on the fundamental principles of Taoism and the laws of nature. Practiced by the Chinese for thousands of years,chi-gungworks with the energy found in all living things to help rid the body of the imbalances that sap our strength and give rise to disease.

Originally published under the title Harnessing the Power of the Universe, this book provides a detailed overview ofchi-gung, describing the techniques of movement, breathing, and massage that are intrinsic to this ancient Taoist system of health.
