Description
Qi Gong Meditations for Healthcare Providers, Their Patients, and Every BODY by Patricia Bates, MSAOM, LAc., is more than a book of meditations; beautifully interwoven with the “how-to” of meditation are stories of the author’s experiences with qi gong meditation. Gentle but strong in her encouragement that meditation is for everyone, including children, it is often finding the appropriate meditation for the present time in our life that will help us continue with a practice that has been around for thousands of years. This book offers a number of meditations for you to practice to see which exercise is best for you.
Divided into two parts, the first part includes, in addition to real-life examples, a history of meditation, a description of different meditation styles, techniques to help motivate and incorporate meditation into your daily life, and research examples showing some of the benefits of meditation. As a healthcare provider, Patricia also includes a chapter on how meditation can be included in a healthcare setting.
The second part of the book has many meditation techniques from which to select with diagrams presented in a clear straightforward manner to help you easily learn various styles of qi gong. Variations of moves include moving gently to encourage relaxation and stretch, more vigorous movement to increase circulation and energy, and stilling the mind for inner peace. Examples are organized so you can learn one part of a meditation at a time. As you learn the individual parts, you can then perform the individual moves together as a whole. This is the teaching method that the ancient masters used - before you perform the whole, learn the pieces.
Included are directions for Ba Duan Jin (Eight Piece Brocade), a Shao Lin Monastery Qi Gong exercise, Angel Wings of Light, a walking meditation, laughing meditation, and three relaxing visualization meditations.
