Qigong for Health & Wellness (3 DVD Box Set) with Mimi Kuo-Deemer

love these DVDs- good tempo, clear instructions, and overall- wonderful exercise!

From Day 1 of these 'Quarantine Times' I have worked out or moved to a unique DVD a day. I'm happy to say that I found Mimi's DVDs here on Amazon by searching Tai Chi & Qigong. Her sweet spirit and sure direction have proved a beneficial addition to my extensive collection of yoga, cardio, weights, pilates and now qigong!As a deep tissue and massage therapist practicing Upledger CranioSacral for 22 years I can attest to the internal and external energetic and physical openings that occur when you mindfully move through the forms on these DVDs. Mimi skillfully explains the pathways of the body's meridian channels that acupuncturists utilize in order to open and free your life force or 'chi'. She explains how these forms move your body in ways that allow you to do this for yourself. If you breath, focus and trust her direction she will lead you into a more open state that you will feel expand every step of the way.My mind and body feel refreshed and I am looking forward to experiencing the 3rd DVD in this set in a few days. Till then here are my 89th and 90th day of dedicated movement thoughts on the practices found on Disc 1 & Disc 2.89th day: Qigong for Health & Wellness Mimi Kuo-Deemer @mimikuodeemer Disc 1: Qigong for Regulating Energy Practice One: Aligning with the Natural World Practice Two: Five Animal Frolics Practice Three: Qigong Self-massage • A practice curated by Mimi "to make you feel more vibrant, calm, rested and able to awaken to your full potential." These movements deliver that intended state.I started out tired, angry and in need of a hug. I finished the 124 minutes just now feeling refreshed and renewed.These times and my system's increased openness amplify old tendencies of frustration when I'm tired and wanting dinner.I took that inner environment and offered it up to this practice.I could feel the waves of my mood washing away from me as I focused on the beauty of Mimi's poetic direction.These productive movements are a valuable resource. The Five Animals Frolic Practice playfully teased me out of my foul mood. I especially enjoyed the monkey snatching Earth energy up and slyly peaking out to make sure no one saw...fun!90th day: Qigong for Health & WellnessMimi Kuo-Deemer @mimikuodeemerDisc 2: Qigong for Healthy Joints, Muscles and TendonsPractice One: Joint Hydration for Arthritis Prevention and Relief 32 mins • Practice Two: Yi Jing Jing (Muscle and Tendon Changing Classic) 38 mins • routines to help nourish and support a balance of flexibility and strength.On this 90th day of devotion to daily movement I feel graced with the discovery of these patterns of rejuvenation.My hands have touched well over 20,000 people since I began practicing massage in '97 with craniosacral blended in in '07. I am very familiar with the pathways through the fascia that Mimi helps you to open up through these forms. It makes me happy to find new ways of releasing old patterns on my own time at home.Moving through these Qigong patterns and weaving the intentions in with the breath at the same time is powerful. You can find valuable tools here!

I can not say enough good things about these videos. I have both sets of Qigong DVDs by Mimi Kuo-Deemer (the 2 box set and the 3 box set). They have helped immensely with my joint health and well being in a relatively short time (though think of Qigong as something for your life, something you will be doing regularly to get the best results). The DVDs are easy to follow as Qigong is a practice of slow, gentle yet deliberate movements that with practice and patience can strengthen and hydrate the joints, muscles, and fascia and even the rest of your insides. Mimi Kuo-Deemer does an excellent job informing her listeners, in a bright voice, how to do each movement, how to breathe while doing it, how to become less assertive and let the movements flow smoothly. I highly recommend these DVDs for anyone with arthritis, limited mobility (with the idea of making it better, but not necessarily perfect if one has limitations). Of course it would work as well for a perfectly fit human, too. It would be best for buyers to be able to have reasonable mobility, decent balance, and a willingness to be patient, and insight enough not to push into injury (which is unlikely given the nature and essence of Qigong).

I am so happy I bought this DVD set. Mimi’s instruction is clear, gentle, and a perfect pace/volume for the movements. The background is lovely and I really love that she mirrors the exercises - I wish more instructors did mirroring when teaching. I also like that she will share the Chinese names of the movements and what they mean. Her voice is soft and calming, and she brings such a beautiful peaceful energy to the practice. I always walk away from her sessions feeling refreshed.I have no complaints about this DVD set whatsoever. Everything about the instruction is top-notch. I will be purchasing more DVD’s from Mimi because she is exactly what I look for in a teacher.

I liked the softness in her voice along with the gentle movements. A very tranquil experience .

Love everything by MImi Kuo-Deemer. Perfect, wonderful results.

This 3 disc set has it all. It covers a wealth of movements as well as mental focus and meditation. The routines flow smoothly and slowly with Mimi's voiceover instruction through each. Her voice is clear and soft for a very soothing Qigong experience. The disc for healthy joints, muscles & tendons is my favorite. I have tendonitis as well as arthritis & osteopenia. The exercises help loosen things up. My stiffness is gone and my body feels much more relaxed. Each disc presents with beautiful settings in nature with subtle music in the background. I also appreciate Mimi's explanations of each movement along with their meanings.

I love her voice, quality of video, ease of movements and that it is transferrable to tBlet which makes my excuses mute. ;)So far I love it..... haven't actually done but because of how calming she feels right away i have 2 more in my cart. ;) 😉
