Amazon.com Review
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
Product Description
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.

 A Classic December 21, 2008
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.

 New Qigong Student September 29, 2008
As a new student to Qigong I am enjoying following this book along with daily practices of Qigong forms. I find that taking the time to learn what I can is helping my practice.
An Excellent Introduction July 14, 2008
This is a well-written book that is both informative and a pleasure to read. Ken Cohen provides an interesting overview of the history of Qigong and also provides appropriate instructions to give the reader an introductory taste of Qigong practice.
For anyone serious about learning Qigong, I recommend Ken Cohen's audio/video course "The Essential Qigong Training Course" that is also available here on Amazon.
Excellent step by step book March 3, 2008
Although I haven't finished with this lecture, I have found it quite interesting. Language is easy and for a person who has very little experience in this subject, this is a very useful book with lots of interesting data especially scientific ones (this gives the author more credibility). Great book!
