Thumbs up A good book on Chi Gung training

Chi Gung: Chinese Healing, Energy and Natural Magick by L.V. Carnie

Chi Gung (aka QiGong or Chi Kung) is the art of manipulating the energy of the body to achieve benefits like health, healing, flexibility, endurance, and intuition. Many books on Chi Gung present the training using traditional practices. However, Lily of the Valley Carnie has written a stunning book on Chi Gung (Qigong) that takes it out of formal systems and instead teaches a fun, playful approach to applying Chi Gung to whatever activity you are engaged in (such as yoga, hiking, jogging, free running, or capeoria ). She talks about making the practice of Chi Gung an expression of you and your Art whatever that may be while gaining the health benefits of a Chi Gung practice along the way.

She encourages the spirit of play when practicing Chi Gung because the flow of Chi through the body is hindered by tension and stress and being too serious in your training is a guaranteed way of limiting your potential. Ms Carnie recommends a fun approach to training that allows an awareness of the nuances and subtleties of Chi flow to develop naturally.

I really liked this book as it has some great ideas that have enhanced my own training and wanted to share it with you.
