I was taught qi gong many years ago and in turn taught others as a sign of achievement

Getting it out of books is a tough game

Simple elements to understand is breathing on up elements breath in down out

Go watch you tube find someone doing a set that speaks to you looks cool and pretty simple

replicate as best you can

Should be flowing and balances as in left side right side movements

The Tao is best looked at through a smile as is qi gong

the guy below looks a good place to start Just a random search but better to be lucky than skilled
