 Energy
Gathering and Blood Circulation Qigong Daily Practice

Susan Matthews, MS ©2001
This Qigong video is
an excellent home practice aid for any age or ability. I consider
it essential that my students practice this first level of exercises
on a regular basis. Detailed instruction contains essential principles
for cultivating qi, for training mind to move qi anywhere in the body
for self healing, and for training the internal movement of energy
by the mind in Tai Chi and Qigong practice. Several have reported
their family members were using the tape successfully so we decided
to share it with everyone. QiCircles©, or abdominal
rotations, and Mindful Massage©
of the Head, Neck, Hands, and Meridians exercises directly stimulate
the immune system, internal organs, brain, lymph and blood circulation,
skin circulation, and energy flow in the meridians. Great for detoxification
of the tissues. Exercises are performed sitting so it makes a
great tape to regain strength and energy. Movements also loosen hips
and low back.
This video is highly recommended. Front and mirror view. Instructions
on Qi (Chi) circles and self massage from Wu Style Grandmaster Wang
Hao Da. SS-200 $34.95
Dear
Susan,
I
just want to thank you and tell you I think you are a real cool
lady. What you do blows my mind. I feel fortunate that we met
and that you are teaching me.
