Qigong for Health and Well-Being

Qigong for Health and Well-Being by Hou, Faxiang. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781885203793.

As Westerners learn more about traditional medical wisdom, qigong exercises--the ancient Chinese system of movement and self-massage for regulating the function of the body, mind, and breath--will become an integral part of mainstream preventive health care. Qigong for Health and Well-Being begins with a step-by-step guide to the history and varieties of qigong practice and then takes the reader through easy-to-learn exercises used to maintain optimum health. Fa Xiang Hou is the fifth-generation master of the Hou familys system of qigong. He has practiced qigong healing for over twenty-five years and has been taught and practiced since he emigrated from China to the United States in 1991. In 1992 he founded the Qigong Research Society. Mark V. Wiley has written for multiple martial arts publications and is also the author of Filipino Martial Culture (Tuttle, 1997) and Filipino Martial Arts: Cabales Serrada Escrima (Tuttle, 1994)
