"Women's Qigong for Health and Longevity is loaded with practical, effective, and transformational information and practices to help all midlife women maintain vibrant health."
  — Dr. Christiane Northrup, author of The Wisdom of Menopause

"Deborah Davis has gifted Western women with a practical, yet profound handbook for self-healing using the ancient Chinese practice of Qigong. With this guide, every woman, no matter her age or health concern, can enjoy the benefits of systemic life force cultivation.  Organized by life stage and health concern, Deborah´s guidebook makes it easy to develop an individualized Qigong program.

Having personally experienced the "magic" of Qigong many years ago, I am delighted to see this insightful handbook.  As a bone health specialist you can bet I´ll recommend to all my clients to look into Deborah´s Qigong exercises for osteoporosis."

In addition to the age-related routines, the Healing Woman section teaches protocols to address the most common problems affecting women today:

Deborah ran a Qigong clinic with her teacher in the early 1990’s. She witnessed remarkable Qigong healings such as Roberta who was told that she had only two months to live after undergoing unsuccessful chemotherapy and radiation treatments for breast cancer. With a death sentence looming over her, Roberta dedicated herself unequivocally to a Qigong program and self-reflection. Within a year she healed herself. Deborah’s 75-year-old mothers dangerously high blood pressure wasn’t responding to medication. Her cardiologist was concerned that she’d have a stroke or heart attack at any moment. Deborah designed a Qigong protocol to lower the pressure and regulate her mother’s heart. It took only a month to bring the pressure lower than it had been since her twenties. Qigong is easy to learn and suitable for all fitness levels and ages. "Finally! A book on qigong for women by a woman!!! As soon as I received this book and read it, I ordered three more copies to give to my friends! It's a fabulous book! (I studied tai chi and qigong for eight years, but had fallen out of practice.) Now, I am starting to practice again, thanks to finding this book. The information in the book is invaluable to women of any age. It's never too early to start protecting your health and learning to "work your qi" is the best way to start. The book has different routines for different age levels so it can be used for decades! Deborah Davis explains qi and the five element system in a way that is easily understood even without a tai chi/qigong background. I am truly grateful that I have found this book and you will be, too. Buy a couple and share with friends -- you'll be glad you did!!!"   — Jerilee Waker (Portland, OR),8/12/2008 (Amazon.com) "Great Book & DVD As a personal trainer, senior fitness specialist, mind body specialist, tai chi and yoga teacher I am always looking for wonderful things to add to my classes.     "Women's Qigong for Health and Longevity" by Deborah Davis is an excellent choice. The information is easy to understand and relates well to our modern lifestyle. The exercises are explained well and easy to follow. The six healing sounds and accompanying movements are a beneficial addition to any fitness routine or program.     The specialized chapters: Breast Health, Menopause, Depression, Heart Health etc. help each person set up a program specific to their own needs. This is an added bonus.     Deborah's Dvd "The Spirit of Qi Gong" which contains the six healing sounds and their accompaning exercises is a valuable addition to your wellness library, again it is easy to understand and follow and makes you feel wonderful while doing it as well as when you are finished.     I highly recommend both the book and the dvd to beginners, or those like me who have been practicing for years."   — Dixie Howell, 1/18/2009 (Amazon.com) "one of the best I used to be intimidated by the thought of learning qi gong (chi gong) - I thought you had to find a master and then work really hard before you could be any good at it. Well, true, in order to be a master, one probably does have to train for a long time, but there are a number of great resources available for learning simple, beginning forms of qi gong to improve your health and energy level. This is one of them. The instructions and pictures make each exercise fairly easy to learn but I'm a person who prefers to be shown how to do something. So I got the author's DVD "The Spirit of Qi Gong" as a companion to the book and am very pleased with both. Many of the exercises in the book are included on the DVD and once you get used to the way they are done, you can pick up the ones that are not on the DVD from the book. I am pleased that the book focuses on women from 40 and older because I would like to learn how to move into a healthy old age rather than being riddled with chronic diseases, having to take a lot of medications and gradually becoming more and more decrepit.
