The Qigong Workbook for Anxiety: Powerful Energy Practices to Rebalance Your Nervous System and Free Yourself from Fear (New Harbinger Self-Help Workbook) - Tapa blanda

"Stand, be still, and master anxiety. Master Kam Chuen Lam's highly-engaging The Qigong Workbook for Anxiety is a gift for anyone struggling with fear." --Gary Lopes Cunha, LMFT, LPCC, outpatient psychiatry clinician for Kaiser Permanente in Northern California "Master Kam Chuen Lam's new book about dealing with anxiety is a revelation on its own. During my daily interaction with dental patients, I come across a big percentage of anxiety cases. I have been aiming to incorporate Master Kam Chuen Lam's relaxation techniques during treatment. As a result, patients often relax so much that they're telling us when they get off the dental chair that they feel as if they had a good rest! It is without a doubt, that in this book, various daily issues are addressed in an effective manner. Conventional Western medicine has no ammunition to combat stress or anxiety for everyday life or work. Look no further, Master Kam Chuen Lam's new book provides you with the essential elements to survive today's hectic lifestyle and emerge unscathed with simple techniques. It's the first time I've come across such an informative and to-the-point read. ... It is a beacon of hope in today's jungle." --Maria Maliderou, DDS, MSc, qigong student and dentist based in London, UK "This book comes at the right time. More than ever, employees and managers are struggling to keep up with the ever-increasing speed and constantly rising demands of business life. The ensuing stress and burnout is literally killing people. Western approaches to dealing with the resulting issues have reached their limits. Master Kam Chuen Lam's workbook is addressing the root cause--anxiety--in a new way. It is based on age-old Chinese wisdom and Lam's own life's work devoted to the study of human energy. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to be successful in the long run." --Thomas Apfel, corporate account manager at IBM "Qigong combines two approaches to treating anxiety that are known to work: exercise and mindfulness. This highly accessible and readable workbook should help many more people enjoy the benefits of qigong." --Elizabeth Murray, general practitioner and professor of emergency health and primary care at the University of London, UK "True health is more than exercise and good nutrition. It includes peace of mind. Those who possess it glow and seem to have access to a wellspring of pure energy. If you've ever wondered how to become such a person, qigong Master Kam Chuen Lam can guide you there." --Susan Piver, founder of the Open Heart Project "Anxiety is part of the 'broken brain' syndrome that millions of Americans suffer from. Conventional medicine can mask the symptoms, but it doesn't tackle the root cause. That's what the total mind-body system of qigong does. In this groundbreaking workbook, Master Kam Chuen Lam shows us how to use our own life-force energy to lift our minds and bodies to a new level of wellness. Open this book to any page and you'll find it's one of the most practical, helpful, and friendly guidebooks to your own well-being you can imagine." --Mark Hyman, MD, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, The Blood Sugar Solution "Do not let the simplicity of the exercises in this book fool you. ... I work as the compliance director of a major financial firm in London--a highly stressful job--and I can vouch from my own experience for the profundity of these exercises and the enormous wisdom of Master Kam Chuen Lam's teaching." --Charles Beck, qigong student and director of compliance, London, UK "Having worked for over thirty years in a busy and demanding dental practice, I am no stranger to stress at work. I can, without hesitation, attribute my current well-being largely to my daily practice and enjoyment of qigong. Being calm as a practitioner, I am able to bring harmony to the way I run my practice and patients enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. I strongly believe that Master Kam Chuen Lam's unique lineage, wisdom, and extensive knowledge [make this book] a must-have for all busy and stressed professionals who also want to remain truly healthy whilst having to endure daily challenges at work and home." --Thye Yeoh, qigong student and dental practitioner in the UK "In a world where everyone experiences stress and worry, what a gift it is to read The Qigong Workbook for Anxiety. Master Kam Chuen Lam introduces readers to the ancient tradition of qigong in a friendly and accessible way. He teaches simple yet potent methods for relaxing both physical and emotional tension. His instructions are revolutionary in that he encourages us not to reject feelings of anxiety. Instead, by practicing these qigong exercises we become aware of our greater energy field and learn how to regulate our nervous system even when tension arises. This book is for anyone who wants to tap into their inner strength and live a calmer, healthier life." --Amy Conway, MPH, senior managerial consultant for Kaiser Permanente in Northern California "Master Kam Chuen Lam's workbook is a valuable resource for anyone dealing with anxiety, worry, or stress. The ancient healing exercises he shares from decades of experience are presented in a format that is easy to understand, learn, and practice. Having worked with some of these exercises I can personally say they cultivate more peace, calm, and body awareness. This is a book I will be recommending to many of my clients for years to come!" --Tahir Bhatti, MD, wellness physician, director of Integrative Holistic Services, and associate clinical professor in the department of psychology at the University of California, San Diego
