People who must sit or stand long hours at work can now thank the Buddhist monks who centuries ago faced the same problems in their enforced periods of meditation, and developed Chi Kung, a powerful program of energy cultivation to heal distracted minds and tired bodies. Internationally known instructor Master Lam introduces a special form of Chi Kung that focuses on movement and walking. Each move is shown in a stop-action photo with a caption and lets you stay in place until you feel the tension disappear. Breathing, stretching, and mental relaxation come together in a natural way that harmonizes the six directional forces of up/down, left/right, and forward/backward. Your legs and knees, the first part of your body to age, receive special life-lengthening exercises.

We live in a fast-paced, busy world, and many of us are stressed out and anxious as a result. If you suffer from anxiety but have found little relief from modern western treatments, or if you are looking for complimentary treatment, the ancient practice of qigong—which can be understood as the cultivation of internal energy—may offer you relief. Qigong is rooted in Chinese philosophy and medicine, and it utilizes breathing, movement, and awareness exercises to promote healing and aid in meditation. In The Qigong Workbook for Anxiety, world-renowned and respected qigong master Kam Chuen Lam presents the first workbook for overcoming anxiety problems utilizing traditional Chinese energy-focusing exercises. By following these simple and accessible step-by-step exercises, readers will learn to transform feelings of anxiety into resilience and inner strength. The workbook also contains helpful illustrations to help you carry out these exercises. In the book, Lam will help you think about anxiety, and yourself, in a different way—as a whole. You’ll also learn to stop resisting moments of anxiety and other strong emotions, but rather to embrace them within the larger flow of your body’s energy field. By doing this, you will ultimately strengthen and cultivate the natural energy you possess. Author Kam Chuen Lam has been a traditional Chinese healer for over forty years, and is an internationally respected authority on the Chinese health systems of Chi Kung and Tai Chi.
