Customer Reviews

Meridian Qigong
I am sorry that I purchased this product. As a Qigong Teacher I was interested in how other teachers viewed the use of the internal and external energy gates and meridians. This product has many medical as well as practical inaccuracies and does not focus on the energies use of meridians. I would not recommend this product.

An Outstanding All-Around Qigong Form
I will state up front that my review is biased, as I have had the good fortune to be a student of Dr. George Love's for over 6 years. He was my first qigong teacher, and often teaches early in the morning on the beach here in Boca Raton, where part of this DVD was filmed.

The Meridian Qigong form presented on this DVD consists of 14 exercises that stretch and help open all the major acupuncture meridians and channels. The exercises are linked by deep breathing and circulation of energy through the microcosmic orbit. The first section covers important basic information on qi, qigong, breathing, stances, etc. The second and longest section provides detailed instructions and pointers on each of the exercises. It's really like attending one of his workshops. The third section is an uninterrupted practice-along presentation of the form. It takes about 35-40 minutes to complete the form. I agree with the reviewer who stated that the DVD would benefit from a menu, as it would speed getting to this section.

Meridian qigong would be classified as a medical qigong form, and is of Taoist origin. Dr. Love learned the form over 20 years ago from his teacher, Master B.Y. Li, who later named him as a successor. Since my initial studies with Dr. Love, I have also attended workshops with a variety of other qigong teachers, some nationally known, and completed a 2 year medical qigong training course at an acupuncture school. Although the form on this DVD was the first one I learned, I still consider it to be my favorite.

Great Qigong workout!
This DVD does just what it says. Great information for both beginners and seasoned practitioners. Very clear and well presented.
