Movie Reviews of Meridian QiGong: 14 exercises that stimulate the meridians
Movie Review: Meridian Qigong
Summary: 1 Stars
I am sorry that I purchased this product. As a Qigong Teacher I was interested in how other teachers viewed the use of the internal and external energy gates and meridians. This product has many medical as well as practical inaccuracies and does not focus on the energies use of meridians. I would not recommend this product.Movie Review: An Outstanding All-Around Qigong Form
Summary: 5 Stars
I will state up front that my review is biased, as I have had the good fortune to be a student of Dr. George Love's for over 6 years. He was my first qigong teacher, and often teaches early in the morning on the beach here in Boca Raton, where part of this DVD was filmed.
The Meridian Qigong form presented on this DVD consists of 14 exercises that stretch and help open all the major acupuncture meridians and channels. The exercises are linked by deep breathing and circulation of energy through the microcosmic orbit. The first section covers important basic information on qi, qigong, breathing, stances, etc. The second and longest section provides detailed instructions and pointers on each of the exercises. It's really like attending one of his workshops. The third section is an uninterrupted practice-along presentation of the form. It takes about 35-40 minutes to complete the form. I agree with the reviewer who stated that the DVD would benefit from a menu, as it would speed getting to this section.
Meridian qigong would be classified as a medical qigong form, and is of Taoist origin. Dr. Love learned the form over 20 years ago from his teacher, Master B.Y. Li, who later named him as a successor. Since my initial studies with Dr. Love, I have also attended workshops with a variety of other qigong teachers, some nationally known, and completed a 2 year medical qigong training course at an acupuncture school. Although the form on this DVD was the first one I learned, I still consider it to be my favorite.
Movie Review: Great Qigong workout!
Summary: 5 Stars

Summary: 3 Stars
I gave this as a gift to a friend and she said it was very hard for her to follow as a beginner. That is had great information but she wished it had shown more from the side view so she could have seen better.Movie Review: Excellent content
Summary: 5 Stars
As a teacher of Chinese internal martial arts, I look for content quality in a DVD of this nature. Here, I was not disappointed. Dr. Love presents an excellent course on meridian qigong in an informative and friendly manner. In fact, it's probably one of the best videos on the subject I have seen.
I am also a video editor and DVD author. Here is where I give the DVD about a 3. It needs a menu, desperately!!! The content is wonderful and I can't believe they didn't give it a menu. You can go Next many times to get where you'd like to go, but that is tedious and time consuming. A menu would have made this a 6 on a level of 1 to 5. I would say that is inexcusable for a professional DVD today.
But, I think the content is well worth it and I overlooked the irritation with the navigation, or lack thereof.
Excellent job Dr. Love! Thank you.
