Book Reviews of A Morning Cup of Qigong (The Morning Cup series)
Book Review: A Simple Joy
Summary: 5 Stars
In the "Getting Started" section of "Morning Cup of Qigong," John Bright-Fey writes that Qigong "is no more complicated than playing a child's game and no more mysterious than a smile." With that, he started me on a path that appears to have no end, but one that has already taken me many wonderful places.
It has been my experience that playing the 10 simple activities at the heart of this book provides me with the opportunity to rediscover what it means to be human and to live in a brighter, richer world each and every day. For me, the real magic here lies less in what I've realized for myself (and that's magical enough!) than in the ways it has affected how I interact with the people I meet. I have so much more fun at the grocery store or conducting business on the phone when I remember that smile he mentioned. And I guess it really isn't all that mysterious -- when I bring some of the New Forest "Number 1 - Fun" to my interactions, I seem to get it back 10-fold. I still accomplish my tasks in a straightforward efficient manner, and everyone gets to smile and, frequently, share more than a few laughs along the way.
When I first began taking my New Forest skills off my back porch where I play my Qigong, I was surprised when I was asked, "What are you ON!?" or "What happened to you this morning? Take a happy pill, did you?" It's an almost daily occurrence now. While the initial surprise has gone, the simple joy is constantly renewed. To quote the author one more time, "In reality, the wonders of the New Forest with all the secrets and adventures will always be with you." I know this to be true.
Summary of A Morning Cup of Qigong (The Morning Cup series)
Overworked members of the rat race looking for a quick and effective way to find a crucial moment of calm in their day will benefit from this series of books that offer a simple, step-by-step framework for balancing the mind and body in the time it takes to drink a morning cup of coffee or tea. The careful body movements of the ancient Chinese Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) style are combined with innovative meditative techniques in this guide to spiritual calm. Qigong, or Chinese yoga, is a bodymind exercise that creates wellness and health by cultivating the Qi, or life-force energy. This mental exercise is combined with a regimen of simple arm, leg, and body movements in the Qigong style that results in a state of total spiritual calm. The step-by-step exercise routine is provided visually in the book and on the included audio CD.Tai Chi & Qi Gong Books
