Qigong is an ancient Chinese system of breathing techniques and exercises that strengthen the mind, body and spirit as they balance and augment Qi or "life force". This volume introduces different forms of Qigong in detail through fully illustrated exercises.

Stephen Comee, born near Boston in 1950, has studied Oriental healing methods, meditation techniques, and martial arts since 1965.
