Qigong is an aspect of traditional Chinese medicine that involves
coordinating breathing patterns with physical postures to maintain
health and well-being. Ba Duan Jin: Eight-Section Qigong Exercises
is an accessible, fully-illustrated guide to this particular qigong
exercise, which has been shown to improve the respiratory,
cardiovascular and immune systems. The Ba Duan Jin exercise dates
back to the Song Dynasty, and is broken down into eight sections,
each of which focuses on a different physical area. The routine
enhances limb strength and flexibility of the joints, and also
fortifies the nerves. It can help in the treatment of illnesses
such as osteoporosis and is also beneficial for mental health. Each
routine is described step-by-step, and is illustrated with
photographs and key points. The authors also point out common
mistakes and offer advice on how to correct these. Complemented by
an appendix of acupuncture points and accompanied by access to
online video material, this book will be of interest to Qigong and
Tai Chi practitioners at all levels, students of martial arts and
anyone interested in Chinese culture.
