Simple Chi Kung: Exercises for Awakening the Life-Force Energy by Mantak Chia and Lee Holden

Simple Chi Kung: Exercises for Awakening the Life-Force Energy brings Mantak Chia and Lee Holden’s approach to chi kung into a daily routine. The book introduces the practice’s history, terminology and forms before walking through illustrated exercises.

Movements involving the knees, hips and spine are combined with breathing and attention to the traditional concept of chi. The authors also offer guidance for beginning a practice and adapting its pace. Readers should work within their physical limits and seek advice where needed; the book is not evidence that chi kung prevents cancer, detoxifies organs or replaces treatment for chronic illness.
