Customer Reviews of Chi Kung For Health ( Qi Gong ) - Five Standing Meditations

Invigorating and energizing meditative excercise.
This DVD instruction on Chi Kung standing meditations is excellent. It is a high quality presentation that is expertly done. The demonstration and instruction are easy to see and understand. It is a more demanding workout than it may appear at first glance, but it is well worth it. I highly recommended this DVD to anyone looking for a set Chi Kung excecises that are demanding without being strenuous. It is clear and easy to understand set of meditations that is well worth the price. It is also a good introduction to Chi Kung excercises. <

>However, this is not a dynamic workout, and the movements are slow and tranquil. The background music is also a soft easy going set of new age tunes, and this is not an excercise set for someone looking for a fast and high paced workout. <
> <
>It is a calming and relaxing series of excercises that is soothing and meditative. It is also a fun set of excercises that are invigorating and relaxing wihout being too demanding and strenuous.

Claming, but boring
These meditations are about 50 min with 10 min intro & slow, Qi Gong warm-up made with some of the fundamental movements & postures. <
>All movements are done standing or in a small horse stance which should not be hard on anyone even with limited mobililty as long as they can stand. <
>There are only 2 movements one of which is "Monk gazing at moon" that your arms move at all & the last one, "Wind above the clouds" which includes mild stretching down to one foot at a time. <
>All other movements are held still for 5 min though he encorages you to hold it longer on your own. <
>All movements proceed with breathing beforehand such as inhaling, exhaling only 50% then only 30% then only 10% with normal inhale/exhaling in between each modified exhale. They do feel good, helping you to breath deeper into your belly for better oxygen like babies do. <
>Any movments are also done super slow, slower then even most Qi Gong dvds I own. <
>I did feel calmer doing it, but since my mind is always racing, I had trouble holding the postures & sitting still. Other people may not have as much trouble & get more out of it then me. I like other Qi Gong where there are more arm movements to keep my mind occupied. <
>In the future I might try his seated & 2 standing meditations since the trailer showed some arm movements. On his site which is the title of this DVD, shows seven volumes with the later ones having more arm movements.

Easy-to-follow and effective
I have found these Chi Kung exercises easy-to-follow and very effective at increasing an awareness of chi and its flow. Terry's explanations and demonstrations are very clear, and he takes the instruction at a nice, leisurely pace. The production of the DVD is excellent, also. <
>Chi Kung is much easier to learn from a video, than Tai Chi, and produces benefits quickly. <
>The only addition to Terry's instruction that I would like to have seen is something about the more "esoteric" elements of the movements. For example, when your hands pass near certain areas of the body, you are bringing fresh chi into those areas, in effect recharging them with energy, or redistributing energy. However, this is something you can intuit when you become adept at the movements. <
>To help with learning the relationship between chi kung movements and this "recharging" with chi, I would recommend Wen-Mei Yu's book on chi kung. Studying this book will give you a good "feel" for how movements recharge the body with chi. <
>All in all, Terry's are the best chi kung video/DVDs I have seen.
