A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"This excellent guide to better breathing has been revised to include a new epilogue and a collection of Zi's answers to frequently-asked questions about her unique Chi Yi method. She has integrated her understanding of the ancient Chinese discipline Chi Kung with her training and experience as a professional vocalist to develop Chi Yi, a program of breathing principles and exercises aimed to improve and strengthen the voice and increase overall energy, health, and well-being. I love the way both the book and the video combine 'left brain' exercises with 'right brain' Imagery Drills to foster both cognitive and imaginative awareness of breath, a vital element in so much of our spiritual, artistic, and therapeutic practices. Recommended."

Présentation de l'éditeur

According to the ancient Chinese discipline of chi kung (pronounced chee gung), the body's energy is released by the air breathed into it. Zi, a classically trained American singer raised in China, has adapted that idea in an intriguing method she calls chi yi. (Chi means breath, breathing or air.) Her premise is that controlled breathing can create new sources of life-enhancing energy. In six concise, uncomplicated lessons she shows how to tap into that energy through a range of exercises (accompanied by line drawings), imagery and situational applications. Her techniques for using the body's inner dynamics (the Chinese "core") will be especially valuable in relieving stress, building stamina and engaging in sports.
