Do you sit the majority of the day? Get headaches, brain fog, or fatigue, even after a good night’s sleep? Or wake up still feeling tired? If yes, try this: Stand up, relax your shoulders, make sure your head isn’t slouched forward, and place your hand over your belly. Take a big breath through your nose and try to make your hand move outwards by simply filling your belly with air. Do that three times

If pain-free joints are the goal, qigong movements can help.

Although thin, this book contained more information than I expected. It talks about what is qi and what is qigong (including its history), it tells the life story of this set's creator - Marshall Yue Fei, and enumerates the main qigong purposes (i.e for healing, maintaing health, prolonging life, martial arts and enlightenment). The two main categories are explained: Wai Dan (External Elixir) and Nei Dan (Internal Elixir). In Taoist terminology, the book talks about the three treasures: Jing (essence), Qi (energy) and Shen (spirit), which can be nurtured through Qigong training. In order to succeed, one needs to regulate the body, mind, breath, Qi and spirit - only then the benefits which one can reap from training will be reaped.
