Qigong: Conversations with Madame Li about Health, Youth and Beauty

The audiobook will help you take a step toward health, youth, and beauty with simple ancient qigong exercises that require little time and effort, with no age or illness restrictions. The practical material consists of 75 qigong exercises that will help “turn the wheel of aging back,” and acquire “a long life without sickness and old age.” From all the ancient heritage, the most effective and universal exercises have been selected (massage, breathing, and movements) that have been tested in practice at the health club “White Crane.” Listeners will be offered texts from the Mawangdui silk manuscripts from the Han era, advice from Chinese medicine on proper and moderate nutrition, medicinal and edible plants. The audiobook text is supplemented with small stories connected with qigong: reliable facts of Chinese history, philosophy, and medicine; real people who lived in the times of “high antiquity” and helped develop and establish qigong; and poetic quotations from the “silk manuscripts.” The book is adorned with lines by the legendary Han-era poet Cao Zhi. Every listener is sure to find on the pages of the audiobook a lot that is interesting, useful, and unusual. Studying qigong can be done from any chapter of the book. So, let’s listen and practice!
