For 5,000 years, Chinese sages have intuitively known that to be truly healthy we must exercise. They realized that we are more than just a physical body, so their "exercise" took the whole person into account. They call this practice Qigong, (pronounced chee gung ) a system of slow movements, similar to Tai Chi and Yoga, combined with deep breathing and a clarity of spirit. A type of meditation with movement, Qigong allows our natural healing abilities to work efficiently, boosting our energy level, reducing stress, and bringing our body, mind and spirit into balance. Featuring Francesco Garri Garripoli, author of Qigong: Essence of the Healing Dance, and his wife, Daisy Lee Garripoli. Together they share the complete, 18-form Wuji Hundun Qigong system as passed down by Francesco's teacher Master Duan Zhi Liang of Beijing. This comprehensive workout involves deep, diaphragmatic breathing combined with extensive stretching to facilitate healthy Qi flow. It is clearly explained how each form can benefit specific ailments. This tape also includes a full set of Shaolin Self-Massage Qigong techniques--designed to balance Qi throughout the body.

Francesco specializes in the Wuji style of Qigong, a practice that combines both fitness and mental focusing and calming aspects of this ancient health maintenance exercise. His down-to-earth and practical approach makes this tape a joy to watch and learn from.

"I recently found your video in a bookstore and I love it! I have a 61" TV and when I am standing in front of it I feel like I am right there with you both in the beautiful surroundings. This is the perfect healing modality for me, since my body is not always up to par. It is something I can do!! I love it. I am getting quite good at it. I always feel good the whole day after practicing your tape."
