Qigong 'The Asian Miracle from China' Can Now Easily Be Learned With New
Instructional Video from Qigong Expert Sal Alfarone

NEW YORK, NY - June 3, 2003 /PRnetwire.com/ -- Qigong Expert Sal Alfarone's
video, "Secrets of China"  (www.sal4healing.com) is now available.  You see them
in the parks, the streets and their backyards; Qigong is practiced by millions
of people in China every day.  These slow movements have helped many people melt
their mind and body into one.  Swinging your arms, stretching and self-massage
can help nourish your internal energy that the Chinese call "chi".

It has been proven that stress causes disease and many hospitals worldwide are
now experimenting with Qigong.  This miracle from China trains your body to be
so relaxed that it will naturally heal itself.  According to Chinese philosophy,
pain and disease comes from having blocked energy.  Emotions such as anger,
guilt, sadness and worrying can create havoc to the immune system by blocking
your internal "chi" energy.

The Beijing Qigong Institute did a study and the results were very impressive. 
Qigong was practiced for 3-5 years by 3,100 patients with chronic diseases.

"Qigong assists in controlling those negative emotions that can make you ill,"
says Mr. Alfarone.  "Look inside yourself and discover what is negative in your
environment and try to change it.  Toxic family members, toxic bosses and toxic
jobs can really do a number on the body's defense mechanisms used in fighting
disease.  Try to think more positive and this will be very helpful."

The deep breathing exercises of Qigong along with the low impact movements will
help balance an individual's state of mind.  This can protect and prevent a
person from getting a disease if practiced on a daily basis.

In reviewing the video, editors at Karate Illustrated Magazine stated that
Qigong: "Secrets of China" was, "Professionally done and it was worth watching."

Qigong expert Sal Alfarone has been studying martial arts for over twenty years
and he is convinced that Qigong can live up to all the "hype".  Qigong: "Secrets
of China" is a simple video for beginner and intermediate Qigong practitioners.
