Hi all I was wondering if any of you have any ideas on what would be a good book to introduce someone to Qi Gong breathing techniques for a complete beginner. I'm too far away to teach the person I have in mind and wanted to send them a book to get them started, then I can advise from a distance. I'm looking for something that will teach good Qi Gong techniques to help facilitate healing primarily. I know I'm being vague, but there's a reason for that. Thanks in advance if anyone can help.
Qi Gong Meridian Style Qi Gong, by Li Ding Wang Ji Wu's 16 Nei Gong, translated by Tim Cartmell You can probably find both on Amazon.com Yves Requena wrote a book about Qi Gong that would serve as a basic introduction. Best, Steve Lamade
