DVD: Understanding Qigong DVD 2

The Chinese practice of Qigong, which is the study of Qi in the human body, has been developed through the observation of natural human behavior. For centuries, Qigong practitioners have advanced and documented their practice, and have passed down comprehensive instructions. This theory deserves careful study and deep understanding to be assimilated into your own Qigong practice, in order to make it more efficient and effective.

In Understanding Qigong DVD 2, renowned Qigong (chi kung) expert and author Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming delves deeper into his Qigong theory. This multi-language DVD contains two more video courses in which Dr. Yang explains keypoints for correct and efficient Qigong practice, and details the methods of Qigong breathing. Dr. Yang's systematic approach to teaching offers deep insight into the ancient art of Qigong with modern scientific data to support his theory from both an Eastern and Western perspective.

Drawing on his 35 years of training in Qigong and his Western scientific background as a Physics professor and Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering, Dr. Yang presents a clear and fascinating explanation of his Qigong theory in a home seminar you won't want to miss. This program is a must for Qigong practitioners, acupuncturists, energy healers, and anyone interested in understanding exactly of how and why Qigong works.

REVIEWS

5 of 5 stars, Taijiquan.com Patrick Dickson,
March 2007.

Dr. Yang explains that the first two DVDs of this series, DVDs 1 & 2, cover the fundamentals of Qigong. Later releases of the series will go into more advanced studies of Qigong. I start to chuckle when reading that these two DVDs are just covering the fundamentals of Qigong. For many practitioners of Qigong, the "fundamentals" found on the DVD represent an amount of material and related ability that is beyond their own level...

Dr. Yang's inquiring mind and scientific approach, combined with his experiences and background in the martial arts, make him one of the few people that can create a DVD like this one, in which not only is the classic material presented, but it is combined with clear explanations that demonstrate a true and accurate grasp of the subject. When Dr. Yang, Jwing Ming chose to leave his former career to pursue his studies and teaching of Martial Arts, we all received a great blessing, evidenced by the large volume of excellent material that he has produced over the years.

I don't recall watching a teaching DVD where the teacher will be discussing one of the topics and exclaim, "This section is beyond my understanding." Dr. Yang is honest in this approach and doesn't merely repeat information he has read but instead only passes on the material when he is able to fully understand it himself. At least, that's how interpret his approach. In the regulation of Body, Breath, Mind, Qi and Spirit, he explains that Regulating the Body is relatively easy, where Regulating the Breath and Mind are difficult, but once they are mastered then Regulating the Qi becomes easy. For learning to Regulate the Spirit, he states, "This is beyond my understanding." Yet, the material in that section that he does understand is very illuminating to fellow Qigong knowledge seekers.

It has always been difficult for me to attend the seminars by Dr. Yang, so having access to this DVD has helped to fill that void. As is true of many of his publications, I would recommend this DVD to practitioners of martial arts or Qigong of any level in any school, as well as newcomers to this type of knowledge.
