DVD Reviews of Qigong Beginning Practice

DVD Review: A Teaching tool but not a guided qigong practice
Summary: 3 Stars

I possess a 15 minute guided qigong practice that I really like. This DVD offers an extra presentation of the authors time in China and is interesting but the DVD is an instructional teaching session whereby the author and his wife DEMONSTRATE THE MOVEMENTS- after doing some introductory warm up moves/poses/stretches the author gives the viewer 16 more movements which are to be practiced randomly to replicate the chaos in the human universe. I immediately went to the web, and ordered another one of Dr. Chen's Tai Chi GongFa Dvd's. His are a guided experience where you do the same routine with him for as long as you like. There are 5 levels and I went from 1 to level 3. I would not have purchased this first DVD had I realized, it was up to me to memorize 20 movements and to make up my own routine-a little too advanced for me at this time.

DVD Review: Qigong Beginning Practice
Summary: 4 Stars

I heard of this DVD from a friend who loved it. I borrowed hers and decided to order my own. The first time I used it, I did the first two sections and felt so much energy and much more limber (I have fibromyalgia and am prone to stiffness). There were days that I was in too much pain to do the entire DVD, so I opted to do the last section (there are three). After realizing how great I felt, I started doing that last session each day as I get ready for the day just before I put my makeup on and do my hair. The last section is "massaging" the face, scalp, neck legs and then getting the stale chi out of the body and only takes a few minutes. It's great!!

DVD Review: Very good documentary about Qigong with useful exercises
Summary: 5 Stars

This product consists of two DVD discs. The first contains a set of basic Qigong exercises and the first part of an interview with the author, Francesco Garripoli.

The second disc contains an award winning PBS documentary about Qiqong and the second part of the interview with Francesco Garripoli.

The introduces Qigong history, theory and scientific research as well as showing some very interesting contemporary Qigong masters and healers within China.

I have practiced Taijiquan, Nampaichuan und Qigong since 1993 including some years as expat in China where I practiced Taijiquan together with Chinese every morning in the park.

I like to practice the 18 Qigong exercises and the Shaolin self-massage techniques demonstrated by Francesco and his wife Daisy Lee that are easy for beginners to learn. Of course, if you have nether practiced any Qi exercise, don't expect immediate results from one time practicing. As with every art you need to practice these exercises regularly over a longer period (best every day in the morning) until you can practice them fluently during keeping mind and body relaxed so that you will completely experience their full healing benefits.

I recommend this DVD as a great starting point for anyone interested in Qigong and its health benefits.

DVD Review: oh, yes:
Summary: 5 Stars

This video is very well done, easy to understand and follow,done in a very caring attitude.

DVD Review: Qigong Beginners
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an excellent start. I sometimes have a hard time moving in certain directions with my arthritis and Fibromyalgia. But with these instructions going nice and slow, I can do them as long as no one insists I do it perfectly. I like the background and the music and with the two of them (husband and wife)doing it together, I can get a good idea of what I need to do. I am quite pleased with it, altogether.
