Qi Gong is one of the treasures of Chinese culture, based on the awareness of breath (Qi) and the harmony between body and mind. This ancient practice includes many methods from the Taoist schools, Buddhist and Chinese Medicine. They all develop three essential aspects: Xing (movement), Qi (breath) and Shen (concentration of mind, consciousness).
The book Enter the Practice of Qi Gong, handy and accessible, allows you to progress at your own pace on the path of finding a balance between body and mind, regardless of your physical condition.
Accompanied by a DVD of commented exercises, it is the fruit of a long Qi Gong teaching experience in the West. Ke Wen presents an innovative method, combining the essence of traditional Qi Gong and a clear pedagogy. We are gradually brought into the understanding of the Chinese culture, in which body and nature are vivified by the breath.
The three parts are teaching:
- The basic movements of Qi Gong to circulate the energy;
- The postures to reinforce bases movements to enhance the energy;
- Theoretic basis for understanding the functioning of the energy

Chinese culture is based on the unity of the three teachings san jiao he yi 三教合一, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. This text, very Taoist in its beginning, is also strongly imbued with Buddhism, which developed particularly during the Tang Dynasty.
Thus, Taoist notions such as dao, wu wei or the practice of guan – contemplation – are closely linked to Buddhist themes such as desires and passions, vacuum – kong, or meditation, which lays at the heart of Buddhism. This book’s contents are both varied and resembling, both in their profound meaning and in their concrete application. The syncretism of Chinese culture expressed here is facilitated by the fact that Chinese have used Taoist registers of vocabulary to translate Buddhist texts – and it does wonders in this book.
