    Sitting QiGong Meditation

    This episode of Saba Reads is quite different from the previous ones. This is a reading of Sitting QiGong Meditation from Bill Douglas's book, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Tai Chi and QiGong. I used this as an exercise in my QiGong for Emotional Balance workshop. Find a place where you won't be interrupted for about 20 minutes, sit back, relax, breath, and enjoy being with yourself.
