Book Reviews of The Way of Qigong: The Art and Science of Chinese Energy Healing
Book Review: A Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an authoritative book on QiGong written by one of the world's foremost teachers and practitioners of QiGong. This book is a very easy read and Ken's knowledge, wit and humor shine through in every page. It is a "must read" for anyone contemplating practicing Qi Gong. I bought the book five years ago and still refer to it regularly even thought I practice QiGong daily.

Summary of The Way of Qigong: The Art and Science of Chinese Energy Healing
Qigong is an integrated mind-body healing method that has been practiced with remarkable results in China for thousands of years. The Chinese have long treasured qigong for its effectiveness both in healing and in preventing disease, and more recently they have used it in conjunction with modern medicine to cure cancer, immune system disorders, and other life-threatening conditions. Now in this fascinating, comprehensive volume, renowned qigong master and China scholar Kenneth S. Cohen explains how you too can integrate qigong into your life--and harness the healing power that will help your mind and body achieve the harmony of true health.Qigong (ch'i kung) is the modern incarnation of a Chinese energy art that goes back over 2,000 years. With superior scholarship and scientific acumen, The Way of Qigong covers the entire range of theory and practice, including relaxation, meditation, massage, therapeutic touch, and postures. Qi (ch'i) means "life energy," and the goal of qigong, master and Chinese scholar Ken Cohen tells us, is "to train the mind to send qi where it is needed." In this encyclopedic work, Cohen teaches us not only how to do qigong, but what it means and how it benefits us, from what kind of tea is best in the summer to how to have better sex. Cohen is at his best when reducing arcane Chinese theories to plain English, and as a result, The Way of Qigong is as interesting as it is useful. --Brian Bruya
