The Qigong Workbook for Anxiety: Powerful Energy Practices to Rebalance Your Nervous System and Free Yourself from Fear

by Kam Chuen Lam

We live in a fast-paced, busy world, and many of us are stressed out and anxious as a result. If you suffer from anxiety but have found little relief from modern western treatments, or if you are looking for complimentary treatment, the ancient practice of qigong―which can be understood as the cultivation of internal energy―may offer you relief. Qigong is rooted in Chinese philosophy and medicine, and it utilizes breathing, movement, and awareness exercises to promote healing and aid in meditation. In The Qigong Workbook for Anxiety , world-renowned and respected qigong master Kam Chuen Lam presents the first workbook for overcoming anxiety problems utilizing traditional Chinese energy-focusing exercises. By following these simple and accessible step-by-step exercises, readers will learn to transform feelings of anxiety into resilience and inner strength. The workbook also contains helpful illustrations to help you carry out these exercises.
In the book, Lam will help you think about anxiety, and yourself, in a different way―as a whole. You’ll also learn to stop resisting moments of anxiety and other strong emotions, but rather to embrace them within the larger flow of your body’s energy field. By doing this, you will ultimately strengthen and cultivate the natural energy you possess. Author Kam Chuen Lam has been a traditional Chinese healer for over forty years, and is an internationally respected authority on the Chinese health systems of Chi Kung and Tai Chi.

This is an introductory book that provides basic theory and practice of Qigong with the focus on decreasing one's anxiety and fear in addition to many other benefits. Perhaps one draw back of the book is the illustrations and instructions are not detailed enough and do not explain some of the practices as clearly as perhaps some other books. However, this is an informative book that affords one an excellent starting point.

Very good application of qigong to anxiety

I like very much the style of presentation that doesn't impose a specific path, rather offering you a panoply of tools to be used according to your wisdom for counteracting the anxiety.

Not bad I look forward to incorporating Qigong more fully into my life and plan on checking out a few more of Master Lam's books.
