Rated 5 out of 5 by UUCOB from Very good This course teaches you how to take care of your self. As long as you have a viewing perspective that is at least waist high with room to move arms while standing the benefits will follow. As with many eastern practices there is a mind-body connection.

Rated 1 out of 5 by white dove from I purchased this item, not realizing Christmas was so close. Have only had time to do a quick review but January 1, I will be very actively following the instructions on this course. I have purchased numerous courses in the past, and have NEVER been disappointed. Loaned some of the math classes to a friend's son and it has helped him get a scholarship and to keep focused on studies.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Not happy defective disc from Qigong flow for health and happiness The content and instruction are very good. The problem is with the 4th disc in the package. The master video must be defective. I tried it on two dvds and it will not play. I contacted Great Courses, they replaced the disc twice, to no avail. So, if you purchase this, know that you will have 3 working discs, not 4. I got tired of asking for something I paid for to work. So, I give Marisa 5 stars and Great Courses 3.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Torborgie from Great introduction to Qigong! I am really enjoying each lecture so far. I haven't worked through the entire program yet, but I will! It's a great thing for me to do after a long day at work staring at a computer screen. The stretches / flow / deep breathing is great for calming down. It is moving meditation for me. The only "issue" I have is with the instructor's wardrobe. I cannot see the position of her legs (eg, knees bent or straight?) as she wears super baggy pants so I am not sure if my positions are correct. As Qigong is new to me it would be helpful to see exactly how her legs/feet are positioned. This is a great program to work out to at home. It doesn't require special equipment, you don't have to drag yourself to a class, it is inexpensive. Thanks for another Great Course!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ursamax44 from This is not a theoretical course. It provides over nine hours of physical routines which blend the principles of yoga and Qigong. Marisa Cranfill moves with exquisite grace in beautiful natural settings, accompanied by calming, unobtrusive music and a soothing voice-over providing instructions and explanations. Merely watching had a therapeutic effect on me, and I soon felt drawn to participate. The focus is on the stimulation of life force energy (Qi) flowing through meridians (pathways) to the major organs: lungs, heart, liver, spleen and stomach. Those who are not accustomed to energy work may be skeptical about the concept of looking into the lungs with their eyes closed, or smiling at their liver. I would encourage everyone to suspend judgement and see what happens. Transformation may take a while. I have been working these practices for about a month and am finding them enjoyable, soothing, and stimulating. I almost always notice a decrease in my chronic aches pains during a session. I am not able to stand up for long, so I do much of the work while seated, and take breaks when necessary. There are some things I cannot do now, but I am hopeful. I have an ongoing problem with clockwise and counterclockwise, because the instructor and I are facing each other, but I am gradually figuring it out. I am happy to own this course. It has exceeded my expectations.
