If you are reading this then you have already made the important decision, you are looking at qigong as a way to improve your life. Whether you are researching qigong as a way to improve your physical health or mental well being it doesn't matter, what matters is that you have taken the first step.
The big question when someone starts studying Qigong (or most other natural health processes) is "Will books on Qigong be enough?". Books are much cheaper than personal instruction in just about anything, but are qigong books going to be as much help as a personal qigong teacher?
Whether you choose to use books on qigong or find a personal teacher who will guide you through the gradual stages of qigong training depends on many things. Do you have a qigong teacher in your area, being the main one but of course there are other reasons that you may choose to learn from books rather than from a personal teacher.
If you do not have a qigong class near enough to you or you just want to try and learn qigong at your own pace using books then you will need to put some time aside not just to read the book but to actually try out the lessons you read. Reading your qigong book in bed is good but it is also necerssary to re-read the book at the time when you are ready to do the exercises.
Once you have purchased a qigong book it can be useful to enlist the help of a friend or spouse, they can read the book and help you practice. Teaming up with a friend can also make sure that you stick with the program of learning qigong and practising it.
Learning anything that is worth knowing takes time, it may be tempting to just jump from one part of your qigong book to another part later on that looks more interesting or easier. Missing out a few lessons or even a few pages may not seem that important to you but learning qigong is a process and you can do yourself more harm than good by jumping just a few steps ahead of yourself.
Take your qigong book with you to the space that you are going to use to study and exercise, the space you use for your qigong lessons should be somewhere quiet and undisturbed. It can be hard to absorb all the information you need to if you are constantly being interrupted so pick not only a quiet place but a time of day when you are least likely to have people calling you or needing your assistance.
