Customer Reviews

beautiful writing teaches art of qi gong,

I borrowed this book from library first as I am new to qi gong, and exploring it largely through library offerings at first. bought my own copy, because was impressed with the amount and quality of info in it. Now I understand the reason for moving slowly, understand what the masters are feeling, focusing upon. was a mystery to me until I read this book. And is exciting, rewarding to feel this mysterious life energy, as I follow her directions, Am finding it quite easy, natural to follow, first learning the basic moves and then adding more details as I go along. In practicing little over a week, am already feeling more chi than ever before, and feeling the energy within me as I move in beautiful ways.Also feel healthier, stronger, more peaceful, quick results. no side effects, I love it! Is wonderful to truly experience this energy, like the masters do. She gives enough details to truly experience chi energy. Is a real gift, amazing how she can share this through book.

Best book for women wanting to benefit from Qi Gong.

I have been studying from this book for about a year and have noticed changes in my posture and overall physical health. Very easy to follow with clear explanations. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to reap the benefits of qi gong.

obviously caring, clearly explained, practically orientated

I will be using this in my classes as the practical side of the book is easy enough ( for me) to understand without the help of a teacher. The theory is clearly explained and the author obviously wants to take care of you ( like a big sister ) I feel motivated by her words. The illustrations add to the charm although I would have preferred more professional drawings, it doesn't stop you from understanding precisely where the point is to work on. The photos are there to help with how to position each part of your body. I found this good value for money and I will be looking at her other books as I feel this was a good investment.

Comprehensive yet Strikingly Simple

I've been teaching Qi Gong for over 10 years there are very few books written by women on Women's Qi Gong. There are even less books that I would recommend to someone who isn't already enrolled in a class. Earth Qi Gong for Women is an exception. The illustrations, photographs and instructions are thorough and easy to understand. Tina Zhang has taken her years of training in China and the U.S. and presented it in this gem of a book. She manages to effectively cover the principles and concepts of Qi Gong, its history and provides a complete workout in fewer than 150 pages. Of course I would recommend studying with Ms. Zhang, but if that is not an option please do not pass up the opportunity of reading her book.

Very detailed and specific written on Qi work, is alive!

The beautiful aspect of this book is it manages to let the reader get to know the joyful of Qi flowing into the theories - these theories tied in everything from basic understanding of qi gong history, principles to how practically practice qi gong - It gives a system and very nice-and-easy form for the readers to follow, and also includes a step by step instructions on the acupressure points massage for the eyesight improvement, a very helpful material! It is not a big book, but a simple yet powerful presentation on improving women 's general health with a very detailed and specific written in an authentic style. It makes sense that the healing aspect in qi gong practice builds on body's natural energy cultivation", and I also really like the chapter that says, "Finding the beauty in your true nature" shows the loving personalities of its author.
