Errors Abound, Somewhat Confusing
I have read and reviewed a fair number of metaphysical and occult books by this author. Her publishing pace is amazing, but I think she is now putting out books too often, creating books riddled with errors and that are often tangential to the central topic. Unfortunately, this book suffers from both these faults. A quick look at the first paragraph in the first chapter reveals several errors, even misspelling the keyword of Qi! (And I'm not sure what the word “here” means in one of the first sentences... air, perhaps?) Later in the book, she uses the word “tide” instead of “tied.” I did receive an ARC copy of the book, but the errors I see in the first 10% of the book persist in the published edition. For a book that is supposed to be practical, she spent a bit too much time on the sometimes troubled history of qigong. Also, she uses a lot of Chinese terms without explaining them, making the book hard to read and understand in places. I imagine the overuse of such terminology would make the book difficult for beginners, the ones this book is intended for. None of this author’s books have illustrations, and I think books like this about activity and movement need illustrations. There's a reason for the phrase, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” I found many of her descriptions of stances and movements hard to follow. I really did enjoy some of her books I read earlier this year (and last), but the last several I've read have had far more problems than the earlier ones.

Very interesting and motivating at the least.
I really liked the way this book broken in easy to understand ways of learning an ancient Chinese practice of healthcare or overall health. I felt very good about the practice of meditation and breathing to aid all of lifes stressful and emotional pain. I feel like I learned a lot of good techniques and I'm ready to follow the book daily with this healing outlook on my life.

This is not informative enough and has a lot of typos. It introduces qigong at a superficial level better suited to YouTube videos or a social media platform. Not good for those who truly want to learn abd go down this path

great book for an intro into qigong
Good theory, easy explanation of basics ..lacks pictures but YouTube makes up for it. The emphasis on core concepts is nicely integrated into all chapters

Qigong for beginners
I started practicing qigong about 6 - 9 months ago. I’m in no way a qigong master but I do feel much less pain and more “peaceful”.

I would have given it a 5 star if there were illustrations after the movements.
I kind of scrolled through fast because of the lack of pics.
