by Yanling Lee Johnson

Bring Balance to Your Life with Qigong! Stop... Breathe deeply... When was the last time you gave yourself permission to relax, to focus only on yourself, to truly enjoy your body? Although there are so many demands on your time and energy, you cannot forget to take care of physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Qigong is the simple and natural way to ensure that these needs are met. Combining gentle movements with centuries-old meditation techniques, Qigong is the perfect holistic fitness practice for the busy woman who has only a few minutes to herself in the car, at lunch, or just before falling asleep at night. Yanling Lee Johnson, a survivor of China's Cultural Revolution and a longtime Qigong healer and practitioner, addresses the stresses that women of all stages of life face, as they negotiate modern living. Let her teach you simple techniques for maintaining balanced health.

Beautiful, simple and elegant. This Tao way of life fits into everything I believe seamlessly. I downloaded an app called Qigong Massage. I hope to learn more about eating for the seasons, geography, and body. Ancient poetry from Masters are sprinkled in this book with wise advice backing up Johnson's knowledge. This book is delicate piece of art.

This book introduced me to Qigong. It talks about how energy moves through are body in various ways but that energy is not created nor destroyed. This artform appeared a bit strange to me but also very interesting, and I can see how it would be very helpful to creating a healthy way of living.
