In today's high-powered world, women frequently find themselves pulled in many different directions. As they try to balance the demands of carers and family life, they are too often left with a feeling of imbalance, a feeling that can manifest in both physical and emotional stress.

To reclain their equilibrium and find relief, more and more women are turning to 'qigong', a low-impact, time-efficient daily practice of gentle exercises based on the ancient concept of acupuncture meridians.

Developed and enriched over two thousand years by Taoist and Buddhist doctors and monks, 'qigong' offers techniques for improving breath control and mental concentration, releasing stress through self-administered massage and acupressure, and reaching and maintaining desired weight.

In 'Qigong for Women', Dominique Ferraro gives step-by-step instructions, accompanied by sequential photos, for dozens of exercises that address the specific concerns of women.

Along with chapters on stress relief, aging, and physical toning, Ferraro includes information on female sexuality, osteoporosis, menstrual difficulties, and problems related to pregnancy.

Through regular practice of 'qigong' women can improve blood circulation, reinforce the immune system, and reestablish emotional equilibrium.

Middle-aged and older women will enjoy the added benefits of recovering elasticity, whether in their joints or in their psyches.

Valuable for all ages, 'Qigong for Women' provides a system, both preventive and curative, to maintain the sense of well-being that we all deserve.
