To be fair, one year ago I found this book to be very helpful. I used the techniques described and I thought maybe they were helpful. What more could I want?However, I find it a bit of a let down that the very special knowledge of Qi Gong is presented in, frankly a poorly edited manner. There is contradictory info on the positions of the points at times. I realize the location of the points are not exact, that everyone's body is different, but including pressure point charts that contradict what is shown in the video or photo illustrations seems to be done in line with what the author's views on student mastery or proper learning and confidence, "It is better that students are completely confused than to have a bunch of fake experts." So, we should pay for a book so that we can be confused? May be its better to leave us in peace. I don't think it is nit picking to have an issue with numerous and spelling and grammatical errors throughout the book. At times, though rare, the errors are such that proper understanding is obscured.However, the video is quite helpful at dispelling most confusions raised by the poor editing of the book. At the end of the day, I have picked up valuable and very enriching knowledge here. But it is disrespctful to the tradition and the students not to edit the book to near perfection or even an acceptable level where every paragraph does not present a typo, misspelling, or grammar error.

Useful informative explanation of qigong selfmassage.
I read the every page, and followed the self-massage techniques as well as I could, having zero knowledge before. I thought the first few pages are difficult to get through but recommend reading them for a base, unless you are well-versed in all these techniques. I ignored the repeated highlighted text to click here for video. I wanted to see what I could learn just from the printed word. The pictures were confusing since numbers on them did not correspond to the numbers mentioned in the text. At the end of the book, after having stumbled through giving myself a massage, and feeling better for having done so, I clicked on the link and was pleasantly surprised to find the video was a free download, not an extra charge. It did require giving my email address and they sent a link to the video on youtube. So the video itself is not downloaded and accessible to me at all times - that isn't the greatest option for me since my internet connection is sporadic. But at least I don't have to pay to view it. Overall I enjoyed learning this, and thought the book was good at explaining something I knew nothing about beforehand.. I intend to do this self-massage again as I feel much better after having completed it. And I can only expect to feel even better each time, as I learn the proper way to perform it.

I was very happy to find this latest addition to the collection
I first came across this series of books when I picked up the "Five-Minute Chi Boost" as a freebie on Kindle. I tried it right away (rare for me, I often get free books and then let them sit in my TBR file) because I'm now in my fifties, and wanted to feel less draggy all the time. The moves were simple and could, in fact, be accomplished in the time frame, and I started experiencing benefits right away. I've since picked up the other books in the series, and have found them clear, concise, reasonably well-edited, and very well-supported with video links, etc. They've also contributed to a raised level of well-being for me. I was very happy to find this latest addition to the collection, and bought it the day it came out. That means I haven't had as much time implementing the techniques here as I've had with techniques from the works published earlier, but so far these are my favorite in terms of experiencing relaxation and a feeling of sitting well inside my own skin. As for the book itself - like the earlier books, it's clearly-explained, brief yet filled with practical information from start to finish, and edited better than most Kindle material in this price range. Absolutely one of the best investments I've made in terms of my time, and very little money, as it's providing me with a big payoff in terms of personal results.

This book on Qigong Meridian Massage like Sifu William Lee's other books give easy
This book on Qigong Meridian Massage like Sifu William Lee's other books give easy, highly valuable and practical instruction . I am a retired California physician who has practiced both Western medicine and acupuncture so I have experience in both Eastern and Western healing methods. I started Qigon practice about five years ago when I recognized that it is far better and easier to keep the Qi in one's meridians flowing freely than to try to remedy blockages and illnesses once they have become established. In addition to my other Qigong practice I have put Sifu William Lee's techniques to practice in my daily life with very noticeable positive results in terms of energy, vitality and well being. His methods are clearly presented and extremely cost efficient in terms of time and energy required to learn and apply. They are deceptively simple but for those who are willing to actually put them into practice the benefits will be easily recognizable. I have purchased and applied all of Sifu's books and each is a gem in its own right; each providing a different but equally potent tool for maintaining balanced Qi flow throughout one's body. The price of Sifu's books is as very low as the value is very high. Sifu William Lee has done a great service by providing this valuable ancient practice to the general public is such a user friendly form.Arun Seeley, M.D.

EXCELLENT for self help in achieving good health
Watched the video to do the self massage, excellent. Would have been far better, if when doing the massages there could have been info on the name of the meridian or acupressure point she was working on - and the benefits- basically a running commentary. You have to refer to the book for that.The video was rather hard to watch as whoever produced it was zooming in and out of focus, then putting weird patterned spots over the film.?????? But would definitely recommend it as it has made a difference to fatigue that i suffered with. Shame William Lee couldn't just make a video with running commentary ..

A challenge to work through but the results, so far, have been worth the effort. The video makes all the difference and is well worth using with the book
