About The Book

Practicing the meditations and exercises described in this book will certainly give your Qi a boost, and you will finish feeling revitalized and refreshed.

Chris Shelton offers this book as a guide for understanding and incorporating the theories and practices of specific exercises focused on balancing your body’s energy. Although the practices in this book originated in ancient China, these exercises are meant to benefit all people. The system as a whole is known as “Qigong.” “Qi” refers to the life force energy that emanates within all things, material and non-material, and “gong” means work, or skill. Practicing the meditations and exercises described in this book will certainly give your Qi a boost, and you will finish feeling revitalized and refreshed, rather than worked-out and exhausted. Each day of practice will bring greater and greater benefits, gradually refining your health and vitality—your fundamental nature—as one would refine ore into gold.
As the founder of Morning Crane Healing Arts Center in San Jose and Los Angeles, California, Chris believes in self-empowerment, teaching that no matter your life circumstances, you can take control of your health in order to enjoy life, free from pain.

About The Author

Chris Shelton was raised in an unstable environment filled with fighting, neglect, and drugs. By age eighteen he had suffered two heart attacks caused by drug overdoses and realized that he was going to end up in prison, dead, or both. Ready to change his life’s path, he found discipline in Tae Kwon Do, but one evening while training, he suffered a devastating back injury that left him crippled with pain. Yet over the next ten years, he transformed himself into a martial arts champion and renowned healer, attributing his full recovery to Qigong, a holistic approach perfect for people who want a noninvasive, affordable, and empowering treatment option.

Today, Chris is the founder of Morning Crane Healing Arts Center in San Jose and Los Angeles, California. He believes in self-empowerment, teaching that no matter your life circumstances, you can take control of your health and avoid needing a specialist like him. He has worked with Special Olympics teams, professional athletes, celebrities, and countless others across the US and around the world, helping them to reclaim their health and enjoy life, free from pain.

"I have been in the holistic health field for over 30 years. I am a gastronaut of sorts—­ an explorer of numerous pure diets and healing systems: vegetarianism, raw foods, superfood and superherb diets, ketogenic, intermittent and long fasting, wild foods, Native American herbalism, Amazonian shamanism, Ayurvedic medicine, Chinese medicine, and all kinds of mixtures thereof. Through my exploration of diets, healing systems, and healthy lifestyles, I basically became an Indiana Jones type of character, writing books and traveling the world in search of exotic superfoods, healing systems, and herbal medicines. Over the years, I have been blessed with the tremendous honor of touching the lives of millions of people. Two of my favorite people I met along my journey have been Chris and Parisa Shelton. They are like family to me and great teachers to me as well. I feel a special privilege in introducing you to this book: the third edition of Chris Shelton’s Easy Guide to Emotional Well-­ Being With Qigong. This book is immediately useful! A perfect reference manual and a constant reminder of the miracle of the human body.

“I know firsthand how the five senses can influence the subconscious mind, and challenge the conscious mind, leading to inner struggles that show up in various aspects of life. This internal conflict can impact your emotions, physical well-being, and overall health.



As a personal trainer and the creator of Tae Bo®?, I emphasize the importance of faith in Jesus Christ, which includes all aspects of health wellness: spirit, mind, will, and body.



Having a longstanding relationship with Chris, who embodies the teachings of Christ, I have witnessed the powerful effects of Qigong practices he incorporates into his teachings following my Tae Bo®?classes. The immediate transformation and enhancement of both physical and mental well-being in his students are truly remarkable. This Qigong Teacher Training course is a valuable resource that delves into these practices, making it essential teachings for anyone seeking to improve their life and the lives of others.”
