Flowing Zen: Finding True Healing with Qigong

Description

Anthony Korahais was 24, working at Starbucks, and running out of reasons to stay alive. Fresh out of Columbia University. Drowning in depression, chronic pain, and anxiety so bad he couldn't think clearly. He'd tried everything he could afford. Then, almost by accident, he stumbled onto qigong while looking for something to help his back. What happened next changed everything. Not overnight. Not magically. But it changed everything. Flowing Zen is what Anthony wishes someone had handed him back then—half memoir, half practical guide. He doesn't sugarcoat how bad it got. He also doesn't pretend qigong is a miracle cure. What he knows, after 25 years of practice and teaching 15,000+ students across 78 countries, is that qigong can do things for the body and mind that almost nothing else can. Especially when depression makes you too exhausted to do anything "right." Inside, you'll learn the 5-Phase Routine he developed for exactly that situation—when you're overwhelmed, in pain, or barely functioning. You'll get the science behind why this works, explained plainly without mystical jargon. You'll understand why you've probably failed at other practices and why qigong is different. And you'll learn how to keep going even on the days when everything in you says stop. The book also comes with a free online video course —the same techniques that Anthony used in his 20s, taught systematically so you can actually see and feel what you're learning. One more thing: Anthony wrote this for skeptics. He was one. If you've been burned by wellness culture, dismissed by doctors, or just quietly falling apart while looking functional on the outside—this book was written for you. "This is a book that can throw you a legitimate lifeline if you find yourself in a deep hole of depression, chronic illness, or serious injury."
