# 1997 VHS • The Chow Qigong System 60 FPS

The Chow Qigong System presents a comprehensive practice session led by Dr. Effie Poy Yew Chow, founder of the Chow Qigong style, which combines Western health practices and traditional Chinese medicine. The program opens with patient testimonials including a 45 percent drop in viral count and resolution of cardiac symptoms, then covers the foundational theory: that a forceful energy system called qi (vital life force) exists in the body, and that disease results from disruption of this energy. Dr. Chow demonstrates energy testing with audience volunteers to show how thought, emotion, and environmental influences alter measurable energy levels, and provides ten lifestyle principles including getting three belly-aching laughs a day and living the qi energy concept. The practice portion introduces standing posture, breathing mechanics, and the dan tian (seat of life, three inches below the navel). Four warm-up exercises are presented, followed by the complete eight-movement Precious Eight Qigong set. Each exercise is numbered and named, with repetition counts and specific health benefits stated. The program closes with student and client testimonials and Dr. Chow's closing wish for good health and good qi.
