Qigong Coloring Book

Color, breathe, move, through the five seasons of qigong.

Qigong is the gentle Chinese practice of slow movement, steady breathing and a quiet mind. Traditionally, its year has five seasons: spring, summer, late summer, autumn and winter. This book follows that year, ten pages for each season, from the first plum blossom to the winter snow.

Inside you'll find 50 bold and easy designs:

• All eight movements of the Ba Duan Jin (the Eight Pieces of Brocade), from Holding Up the Sky to Bouncing on the Heels
• The Five Animal Frolics: tiger, monkey, bear, crane and deer, each with its own animal page
• The Five Healing Sounds, standing meditation and walking qigong
• Five element mandalas: wood, fire, earth, metal and water
• Quiet East Asian scenes: lotus lakes, moon gates, temple steps, tea by a snowy window

Every page has a short caption with the movement's name and a gentle breath cue. You can simply color. Or, when you finish a page, stand up and try the movement slowly.

Made for comfortable coloring:

• Thick, even outlines and large open shapes. No hairline detail, no solid black areas
• Large 8.5 × 11 inch pages, every design inside a clean frame
• Printed on one side only, so markers and gel pens never bleed onto the next picture
• Two color test pages, organized by season

The figures are people of every age, drawn calm, upright and capable, practicing in parks, gardens and at home by the window.

A thoughtful gift for qigong and tai chi students, for parents and grandparents, and for anyone who wants a slower, quieter hour.

No experience needed. Pick a color and begin.
