What is Qigong?
"Qigong" comes from two Chinese words. Qi is the life energy inside a person that circulates throughout the body to provide inner strength and maintain good health. Gong is a method of exercise in this context. So Qigong is an exercise which cultivates better and stronger Qi. The stronger Qi you have, the healthier and stronger you are.
Qigong is especially beneficial for health and mental relaxation. The 5 Elements Qigong taught in this DVD is easy-to-earn and powerfully effective for health.
Health Benefits
Qigong (Chi Kung) is a mysterious part of Chinese culture, many believe it has magical powers to transform one"s mental and physical health. In this DVD, Dr. Paul Lam will show you how to gain the many health benefits by practising this ancient Chinese art.
As well as detailed teaching of the 5 Element Qigong, the DVD includes warm up and washing Qi (wind down) exercises.
The Five Element Qigong
According to ancient Chinese philosophy, all things in the universe are made up of five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. These elements have different properties: earth nurtures all living beings, metal is sharp and changeable, water runs down and irrigate the earth while wood is characterised by growth and fire is hot.
The five elements represent five major internal organs of the body. They interrelate and influence each other. While one enhances another, they also negate each other. The positive relationships are: metal gives life to earth, earth gives life to water, water gives life to wood, wood to fire and so on.
The negative relationships also work in a continual circle; earth negates water, water negates fire, fire negates metal, metal negates wood and wood negates earth and so on. The 5 Element Qigong is based on this theory of nature, and is effective in promoting all aspects of health, including relaxation, mental concentration and cultivating Qi.
How to do Qigong well
The ultimate goal is to use your conscious mind to direct the Qi, use Qi to direct your physical body, thus combining the mind, Qi and body as one co-ordinated entity. This may sound challenging, but the actual learning and practice is relatively easy. With regular practice you will progress steadily to the ultimate goal. You will gain health benefits almost right from the start of your practice. The most enjoyable part is the practice, and the many health benefits you gain as you progress.

Qigong for health
I am just finishing a report on question I asked online about the difference between the use of Qigong and Tai Chi. The pros and cons were very useful to me, the report didn’t give favor to one or the other, they each have a place depending on where one’s health is. For myself it be best for me to continue with Tai Chi and use Qigong when things are so well. Getting to my purchasing Qigong for Health was I believed that the DVDs were of rehabilitation, but then I may better to start with Qigong t hen move up to something more challenging

After hours of searching on the web for an easy yet thorough plan I fortunately found Dr.Lam’s excellent video. It is exactly what I need: concise easy to follow and fun.

Dr Lam's Teaching style takes you slow and sure
The Five Element QiGong DVD takes you one step at a time. You can learn slowly and only move on when you have learned the step you are on. Dr Lam is very clear in what to do and uses repetition to bolster you learning style. After each Lesson you get a run through, to review this lesson and prior lessons. It helps to reinforce memory retention. I like the way Dr Lam produces his Lessons.
