The Living Art of Chi Kung Lizzie Slowe

The Living Art of Chi Kung is an accessible manual, taking the reader through how, what and why to practise Chi Kung. Chi Kung has a remarkable relevance to life today, as do the Taoist principles on which it is based. The ancient Taoist teachings and practises are made simple and approachable with a combination of unique descriptions, analogies, anecdotes and illustrations. "This is not just a book about Chi Kung but a manual for life, delivered through the fun, compassionate and wise voice of Lizzie Slowe. The advice to cultivate an attitude of 'courageous undefended curiosity' and practice Chi Kung with 'simplicity, patience and compassion' are important reminders for every experiential and somatic based practitioner, as well as for humanity. Whether you are a Chi Kung student, a somatic based psychotherapist, or a practitioner of Equine Facilitated Learning, don't hesitate to avail yourself of Lizzie's gentle and wise guidance to living a more embodied life". Shelly Carr, AEDP Therapist Level 3; Trauma Therapist; Equine Facilitated Therapist and Supervisor "Lizzie has written a much needed and accessible book on Chi Kung, with easy-to-follow instructions, as well as suggestions on how to live the practise. There is so much wisdom and good old fashioned common sense packed into these pages. I really like the way Lizzie has used personal anecdotes and interweaved the wonderful Lao Tzu quotes. The last one in particular will stay with me and was just a perfect way to finish". Sue Bringloe - Yoga teacher and nutritionist
