Summary: The Healing Art of Qigong by Hong Liu
Comment: This book would be very good for a beginning to intermediate practitioner who would like to gain an introduction to the therapeutic effects of qigong. The surface information is adequate, gives an insight (nothing more) into qigong but it fails to motivate the knowledgeable practitioner who is looking for MD level insight.
The honorable doctor, when talking about his master, mentions and impresses us with his somewhat skill but does not elaborate on the process of training, or give details of the environment for training. Many things were missing and they are as follows:
a. What was the name of the qigong method trained in?
b. How long did the actual training take place?
c. Is the training longer for an MD vis a vis one who has trained as a qigong practitioner?
d. Other than the master being from Heaven teaching a special technique, does he have other disciples that can elaborate on the skills necessary for the healing art of qigong.
Albeit, beginners will enjoy the book and perhaps be aware of the shadow world of qigong, meaning if more exposure is needed to make citizens aware of this potential healing method, more information has to be forthcoming to propel this from romanticism to real world results and not feel good new age bedtime stories.
I did feel good after reading the testimonials from the people mentioned so this is a good start.

Summary: Must Have for Medical Qi Gong students
Comment: I am a certified Medical Qi Gong Practioner, currently attending studies to be a Medical Qi Gong Therapist. I feel I have to address what one customer reviewer felt were inaccuracies in the book. I believe there are differences between Reiki and Traditional Chinese Medicine when it comes to the meridians. In TCM, there is no "left" or "right." For example, the kidney and bladder meridians are exactly the same on both legs and feet. In TCM there is indeed a San Jiao meridian - otherwise known as the Triple Burner. If you look at an acupuncture doll or chart, you will see that it runs up the arm from the ring finger. Also, do not be confused by what may be small errors in translation. This is not unusual in books written primarily by people whose first language is not English. Sometimes you have to figure out what they meant, not what they said. Mr. Perry is only writing down what Master Hong Liu said. It is not particularly unusual to read that some one used "Qi Gong" to heal. Medical Qi Gong is the art and science of healing with Qi. That said, if you are interested in TCM and self healing, this is a very good read. The self healing exercises are easy to understand. Most of them are simplified versions of more complex patterns taught by Qi Gong Masters.
