Finally! A book on qigong for women by a woman!!! I stumbled upon Women's Qigong for Health and Longevity while looking in a magazine while at a hotel in Ashland, Oregon. There was an article on a local author. I tried to find the book at a couple of bookstores while in Ashland with no luck. I decided to try Amazon as soon as I returned home. No wonder I couldn't find it -- it hadn't been released yet. So I pre-ordered it that day. As soon as I received it and read it, I ordered three more copies to give to my friends! It's a fabulous book! (I studied tai chi and qigong for eight years, but had fallen out of practice.) Now, I am. Basic book for instruction. Not bad, but not easy to follow the exercises. Not enough illustrations/photos to make it clear. But a decent book for the basics.. A. Eskamani said Please buy this book if you are a woman and want to learn about Qigong. I love this book! I take a bi-weekly Qigong class and also have several Qigong videos. However, both of these are taught by men. This book is especially written by a woman for women. It is extremely informative and the pictures are especially helpful and useful. I found it so helpful for me, I bought a copy for my sister.
Acupuncturist and longtime qigong practitioner Deborah Davis explains the traditional Chinese approach to health and the various components of qigong practice; gives general health routines for women in specific age groups; and offers do-it-yourself practices and routines for specific health issues including insomnia, hypertension and heart disease, menopause, sexual vitality, breast health, breast cancer, osteoporosis, and depression.. Here is a detailed, easy-to-use guidebook for women forty and older on how to use gentle but powerful traditional Chinese exercises, breathing techniques, massage, meditation, and vocalizations to promote health, fitness, relaxation, and mental clarity; improve stamina; and even treat specific health concerns
