I therefore decided to investigate theory and method and happened upon the YMAA and Dr Yang Jwing Ming's collection of most helpful, most detailed, most interesting books and DVDs. The Qigong Massage DVD is the first I bought, after some internal deliberation, as I thought almost £20 for a DVD was a lot of money. I must ...
