It has been proven to heal such chronic conditions as heart disease, asthma, and insomnia, and is done without exerting any strength. All that is needed to practice Walking Kung is confidence, ambition, determination, and steadfastness.

a very good and easy to follow book on qigong

The texts I have run across on qigong, usually have the author claiming that certain information is not given, because it is "secret." This leaves the buyer of the book feeling cheated. Not this book. It offers a full set of excercises on walking qigong, which are easy to do. I was amazed at the simplicity of the book. The author takes the reader step by step, through the excercises and gives excellent practical advice, on all phases of practice. The book is concerned with preventing and curing disease, through the circulation of cosmic energy. This is an excellent text because it is complete, logical and easily understood. I heartily recommend it.
