Resumen del Editor

For centuries, Chinese sages, rulers and spiritual seekers have embraced a simple yet powerful principle to enable them to live in harmony with the Source of nature and all life; the art of 'self-cultivation' or, xiu yang.

Xiu yang works with the idea that we can steadily nurture our capacity to being fully human and fully awake. Like a field that is patiently cultivated to optimally grow the nourishing and healthy crops, we can undertake practices aimed at smoothing out the roughness and irregularities in our bodies, minds and spirits in order to produce a deep, lasting spiritual happiness.

Xiu yang promotes the idea that inner balance leads to outer radiance: in order to be in harmony with the world, we must first be in harmony with ourselves. By tending to the field of our own bodies, hearts, minds and relationships, we can start making positive changes within our lives and in the lives of others.

In this nurturing lifestyle guide, Mimi Kuo-Deemer champions the contemporary value of adopting this ancient approach. Through a combination of practices from meditation and mindfulness to yoga and qigong, Xiu Yang offers a fresh approach to finding balance and bringing peace into your life, home and community.

Excellent, thorough guide to Xiu Yang

It goes well with the author’s similarly thorough Qigong videos. Love her take on all these classics. It serves well as prep for more advanced practices.
Highly recomended!

Useful and Enjoyable

Mimi did an excellent job in writing this book. She goes in detail that I have not read or heard before. That does not mean that it is not out there but I have not been exposed to it. As far as performance, Mimi has a very nice voice, calming is the best way that I can describe. You can hear in her voice that she knows what she is talking about and not just reading words. Very enjoyable.

I also have the book "Qigong and the Tai Chi Axis" and "Qigong Box Set" DVDs by Mimi and I highly recommend both as well.

Amazing content and narration!

I 100% recommend this book. The content and narration match one another well.

I enjoyed this book as a method of learning and reinforcing concepts of health and well-being that I’m always keen to know more deeply.

A Beautifully Narrated Life Guide

The first Amazon reviewer Libby succinctly captures the essence of this introduction and guide to the concepts and practices of Xiu Yang.

Like Libby I too am a seeker and found both new concepts and familar ideas viewed through the lens and practice of Xiu Yang.

Life challenges us every day and this book is a gentle guide on another way to radiate and create, space, love and harmony in our lives.

Mimi narrates her book which is better than reading it.

As she reads we feel as if she is having a calm, intimate conversation with us; we are in her gentle, loving presence just as when we follow her Tai Chi, QiGong online practices.

Mimis voice radiates love, compassion, balance, kindness...the very traits her audience wish to possess.

Further we learn a little bit more about the lovely Mimi and her own humanity and family, her path to now.

I also enjoyed the thread woven throughout about our deep connection to Nature.

I need all the help I can get along my life journey and Mimi is one of my favorite guides.

I have a large Audible library, it is my major reading method now and a background in voice over, book narration.

Based on that, I can tell you that it is rare for an author to narrate their book well but Mimi's gentle, beautiful, graceful voice is perfect and makes the listening a soothing, interesting, enjoyable experience.

A good narrator lifts the words off the page and transforms the book.

The audio book is probably the better purchase given the content and how Mimi always graces us with her lovely presence in the moments we make space to listen and practice with her. ❤🙏

Powerful wisdom

It was such a gift to have Mimi narrating her book. Her voice, presence and spirit is felt throughout the book and it is clear that the wisdom she shared is one from lived experience. Much gratitude 💜🙏🏽

Gentle wisdom

I’ve followed Mimi for her qigong classes and YouTube for years. I’ve read her book Qigong and the Tai Chi Axis. She shared her wisdom with patience and compassion. I listen to this book over and over because there’s always something more I receive in her message.
