| Summary |
"Qigong is the traditional Chinese practice of low-impact body movement based on the ancient theory that beneficial flow of energy--or 'qi'--through the body restores vitality and regulates the functions of the mind, body, and breath. Master FaXiang Hou, a fifth-generation practitioner of medical qigong, teaches women at any stage in their lives how to manage their internal energy, awaken their own powers of self-healing, and gain insight into the deep connections within their bodies. He is a firm believer in the power of food as medicine. Drawing on centuries-old knowledge, the practice of qigong through diet and exercise has the power to protect against disease and other complications that arise when the meridians through which energy flows are blocked. Qigong healing has had spectacular results, often eliminating the need for medication and surgery that western doctors may recommend for concerns that are simply part of the natural stages of a woman's life. Women seeking natural solutions to help them sleep soundly, strengthen their immune system, thrive during childbearing years, take menopause in stride, and achieve overall wellness will find answers here. This guide contains qigong exercises with photographic instructions, as well as mindful breathing techniques, a seasonal fasting plan, acupressure points, traditional herbal remedies, and 50 delicious healing recipes for any stage of life, including Ma Po Tofu, breakfast congee, and Lotus Root and Asian Pear Stir-Fry." -- Back cover. |
