While Chinese acupuncture and herbalism enjoy widespread
popularity in the West, traditional Chinese exercise
techniques—with the exception of qi gong—have rarely been taught
outside China. This book is designed to change that. Written by Jun
Wang, a doctor of Chinese medicine, Cultivating Qi draws on classic
Chinese texts to introduce these body-mind healing exercises to
Western readers.
In simple, accessible language, Wang presents three specific qi
exercises: the Yijin Jing, a popular form of calisthenics
associated with both Chinese Buddhist and Daoist traditions; Taiji
Neigong, a series of 34 movements adapted from the Wu-Hao style of
Taiji Quan; and the “Six Healing Breaths,” which combines spoken
sounds with movements associated with the six major vital organs of
Chinese medicine.
Written for beginning students of Chinese medicine as well as
laypersons, healthcare practitioners, and martial artists,
Cultivating Qi includes clear explanations of Chinese medical
terminology—and provides the original Chinese characters for more
advanced students—as well as step-by-step instruction in the three
exercises. Accompanied by 100 photographs, these exercises are
suitable for all ages and activity levels, and most of them
take no more than 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
