From the Back Cover
"Understand Qi. Access Qi. Cultivate Qi. Master Qi. It is the essential fuel behind all intention and action. It is the awesome power of the Universe within you. . . . Qi is your edge in sports, business, relationships, and personal performance. Tai Chi and Qigong are powerful tools, profound yet simple, that will assist you in fulfilling your intentions, needs, goals--even your dreams!"--Roger Jahnke, O.M.D.Developed over millennia in Chinese monasteries, hospitals, and imperial courts, Tai Chi and Qigong (literally life-force and mastery) are profound yet simple methods for increasing vitality, longevity, and sexual potency; achieving and maintaining optimal health and inner peace; and healing both minor and major illnesses. Long kept a carefully guarded secret from the Chinese public, Tai Chi and Qigong have recently come into widespread use throughout the Far East. They are now a health and human performance enhancement breakthrough in the West as well--ancient power tools for self-improvement and a safe, gentle, and proven alternative approach to treating pain and disease.In The Healing Promise of Qi, Roger Jahnke. O.M.D., internationally respected doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine and best-selling author of The Healer Within, clearly and simply explains Tai Chi and Qigong principles and practices. Rather than focus on one particular method or form, Dr. Jahnke distills the best and most important lessons, learned from Chinese teachers with whom he has studied. With the help of more than one hundred superbly rendered illustrations, Dr. Jahnke teaches you easy-to-learn techniques drawn from among twenty-five traditional and modern forms of Tai Chi and Qigong that he has mastered and taught to thousands of people in workshops, retreats, and health-care institutions throughout North America and China. And instead of offering a one-size-fits-all program, he provides guidelines for tailoring a self-healing and empowerment regimen to your unique goals, age, body type, personality, and medical condition.Qi is the ancient Chinese concept for the source of all vitality, healing, and creativity. For those who are healthy and those who seek healing, Qi is the primary ingredient in the most profound medicine, which is produced for free, naturally within the human body. China's most traditional and powerful healing arts, Tai Chi and Qigong are the most direct route to accessing and mastering Qi. Now, this down-to-earth guide, makes the awesome power of Qi available to everyone through Tai Chi and Qigong.Advance Praise for The Healing Promise of Qi"Qi--the energy that sustains all life, holds the key to health and longevity.

Perhaps mislead by reviews, this book has 95% theory and fundamentals, and less then 5% actual postures and sequences.This may be a good addition to a seasoned practitioner, or a nubee who really wants to understand the "why" before doing the "how". Not for me, though. I might post it for sale later on, at 1/2 price, to recover some money and give someone an opportunity to try it,
Excellent, you can get started right away. Good research basis. Simple enough for ANY one to do, no long series of movements to memorize. Good diagrams. Encouraging. You don't have to read the book in order, or even cover to cover to begin. Roger encourages you to take charge of your own health and the Qi Gong/Tai Chi really are easy the way he offers in this book. Improve your balance and strength. The best thing this practice has done for me is stress reduction, positive mood, improved confidence, in an uncomplicated way that has proven beneficial in modern science as well as from sages throughout the ages! It's not rigid, and I super-LOVE the Spontaneous Qi Gong to music!! (esp trance music but have even had fun doing it to Sinatra, funk, jazz, as well as meditative and traditional chines and asian instrumentals!)
Master Jahnke is has taken a mysterious internal art that has been shrouded in secrecy for thousands of years and distilled it into a common sense applicability to everyday life. I have had the opportunity to learn and grow under the teachings of Dr. Jahnke and have traveled to the area of China, the "Cradle of Daoism" with he and a group of his students to become immersed in the culture and areas where this began eons ago. Now a teacher myself, I often refer to the Healing Promise of Qi to teach my own students in these same practices. For me, this is a "go to" book. Roger is as inspiriting in person as he is in the book, and his love for the practices of Qigong, Taiji and of Chinese culture is evident whether you have the opportunity to meet him in person, or read his words in a book. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to enhance their life, or to heal it.
I have been studying Tai-Chi for many years and find it invaluable to my health, in all aspects. This book is by far the most valuable I have ever found concerning the value and importance of Chi energy. It is the energy of the Universe and gives life. It is filled with information, which then leads to understanding, that gives rise to knowledge, enables wisdom, and lays the foundation for enlightenment. This is a journey for the body, your mind, and the spirit. It's not the last word. But it is more than enough to teach you to play, get you in the game, and show you how to win. The rest is up to you............
I have only recently begun reading about, and practicing, chi gong. I like the practice of chi gong (Qigong) because it is much easier than learning tai chi and just as beneficial.I have a couple of DVDs which show one how to do basic exercises of chi gong and a couple of books. I am practicing almost daily and noticing little changes in myself, mainly being more aware of my breathing. These DVDS and books ones are a bit simple and did not answer some of the questions that came up for me. So I bought Jahnke's book based on reading a bit of it and all the reviews. After reading the first few pages, I turned to Chapter 15 which contains guidelines for practice. Gone were the "rules" like, repeat certain exercises 9 times or, practice at a certain time of day. These could be important for an intermediate or advanced practitioner but not for a beginner. In the beginning, it is enough to do the best you can with each exercise, try to get the breathing right and keep practicing. And there is no such thing as "no pain, no gain." In fact, he stresses NOT to do anything that is at all painful, even mildly so. He also stresses the great variability and styles of chi gong and that you're not committing a crime by doing an exercise "wrong" or differently than someone else does.Now that I'm clearer on the basics, I'm reading the rest of the book and am quite happy with the level of detail - it doesn't seem "bloated" as one reviewer put it. I think that if it's not already, this book is destined to be a classic English language introduction to chi, chi gong and tai chi.
What a great book! Well written and fascinating to read. I liked the poetic quotes from various Qi masters that introduce each chapter. I had read some other books on energy healing (e.g., "Energy Medicine"), but this book was the one that brought home the general concepts about energy healing while presenting a practice that is easy to follow without being technical (I.e, if you are interested in details about meridians and Chakras, you're better off with different book like "Energy Medicine," which to me was overwheming in its details and techniques.)."The Healing Promise of Qi" emphasizes the importance of body alignment, breath, and mind and breaks the Qigong/Tai Chi practice down into ten steps:1. Discover Qi2. Gaher Qi3. Circulate Qi4. Purify Qi5. Direct Qi6. Conserve Qi7. Store Qi8. Transform Qi9. Dissolve in Qi10. Transmit QiApproximately 1-3 exercises are presented for each step (total 10-15 exercises) to help you develop the Qi flow.The book then finishes off in the later chapters with an "owner's manual" or guide for your practice and a discussion on the science of Qi (fields of energy, mind and consciousness, etc.).I have been following the practice, and the exercises have really helped me relax amid the stress of everyday life. The exercises take less than 10 minutes, plus they help me to meditate more easily.The author's words ring true and sincere, and he has organized his topics well. I believe in his general message that anyone's health would benefit from following the practice of Qigong/Tai Chi.
This is one of the best books on qigong that I have read. I have multiple copies of it: one at home, one in the car and one at work.
