Feeling blue most of the time? Can't sleep? Taking lithium? Do you find plenty of time to take Western medicines to numb the pain but make no time to understand or work on and remove the causes of what's ailing you? ***
Then maybe you should also make a little quality time for some non-religious Eastern holistic approaches to health. Do not, however, begin tai chi, meditation, Qigong (Chi Kung) or other non-traditional roads to health without the advice of your family doctor or specialist. For "Western medicine has the best technology and strategies for ACUTE care" (Introduction). At a minimum, please, at least open and skim through the pages of Dr Frances Gaik's new (2009) book MANAGING DEPRESSION WITH QIGONG. ***
Dr (of Clinical Psychology) Gaik tells us that she has written this book "as if you were sitting in my office and we were talking about your problem and how to solve it, as I do with many of my own patients. I am going to walk you through the information and help you make change happen" (Introduction). And by golly, she does! ***
Dr Gaik explains Qigong, shows how quickly -- in some forms within minutes -- it can impact depression, the blues, sleeplessness and other bodily responses to modern stress. Her bibliography (References) tempts both specialist and non-specialist readers and ranges over material as late as 2008. Frances Gaik's ample 11-page Glossary is a fascinating read from A to Z: from Acupressure, that is, through Biofeedback, Breathing Exercises, Hypnosis, Reiki, Tai Chi, Transcendental Meditation, Yin and Yang all the way through to Yoga. There are 28 pages of illustrated Qigong exercises. ***
MANAGING DEPRESSION WITH QIGONG is neither the first nor the last word about supplementary treatments of depression and related ailments through alternative, holistic Eastern approaches, especially through Qigong (Chi Kung). But it is a darn good, readable, informative, practical up-to-date word. -OOO-

About Wonder Book
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \"in the stacks\" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.
