Chi Kung for Health: Five Standing Meditations

Terence Dunn's gentle presentation of Chi Kung (“breath-energy exercise”) meditations features uncomplicated, low-impact routines designed to balance body, mind, and spirit, while also energizing and soothing viewers. Performing graceful movements against a serene outdoor backdrop, Dunn employs controlled sweeps of the hands and arms, ballet-like poses and erect postures, and harmonic breathing, all of which serve to relax and rejuvenate. Excellent for centering the mind, reducing tension, and aiding in body healing, this program in the Chi Kung for Health series (the other two titles are Six Seated Mediations and Two Standing Meditations) will suit the needs of people of most ages and states of health (in fact, the easy and calming movements would be especially helpful to those recovering from addiction, trauma, surgery, or childbirth). Highly recommended. Aud: P. (M.E. Snodgrass)
