As Vice President Emeritus of Arthritis Australia, I know how beneficial
The Key to Qi will be for people with arthritis.

I have found the book, The Key to Qi insightful and the Life in Motion
program to be a soothing, profound way to heal the Inner Self. Each one
of the Twenty-Seven Tai Chi Gong Practices introduces effective energypatterns
and ‘circular training’ that link directly with every organ in the
body. They serve not only as energy-enhancing exercises, but more
importantly, as meditative breathing patterns to nourish and cleanse
the body and refi ne Qi-fl ow. Gadi Levy-Golan is a wise, contemplative
teacher of the healing powers of Qi, and without hesitation, I recommend
Gadi’s Qi Strategies in The Key to Qi, as a valuable program to relieve
stress, and to prevent and deal with anxiety and depression.

Gadi is a talented and a qualifi ed teacher of body-mind and wellness
programs and is one of our organisation’s key facilitators. His intuitive
nature contributes to our seminars and retreats, helping to make every
event more special, energising and inspiring. His book, The Key to Qi
and his Tai Chi Gong program convey simple yet profound insights
into an ancient, traditional practice. I fi nd the book to be a key to
improved health and spiritual growth, as it offers a gentle persuasion,
with instructions which are easy to follow. It is a guide to motivate
and assist one to be one’s best self, as well as achieve good health and
wellbeing.

I have known Gadi Levy-Golan since we were both 10 years old. Over
the years, his enthusiasm and dedication to his Practising have always
impressed me. Gadi’s book, The Key to Qi, and his Tai Chi Gong Practices
are inspired by the art and science of ancient breathing techniques and
tranquil movements, which cleanse, strengthen, and circulate energy
(Qi) throughout the body. Having worked with the benefi ts of Tai Chi
and Qi Gong all my life, I believe the message and lessons in The Key to
Qi are symbolised in this quotation: ‘When you heal your Inner Self, you
are able to conquer anything.’

Being an Inner Master is a profound way to approach life. Gadi Levy-
Golan’s book, The Key to Qi, provides a pathway to excellence in all
domains of one’s life. I shall recommend it without reservation to all
my clients.

Chinese Medicine Practitioners believe Qi is Energy which is constantly
transforming and never static. Qi is the force which governs healthy body
functions and blood fl ow. To feel energised, confi dent and relaxed in our
daily lives we must be healthy and so we need to be empowered to connect
with our own Qi, to harness it for optimal wellness and energy.
I’ve had the opportunity to practise Tai Chi Gong with Gadi Levy-
Golan, in person. He has had more than twenty years of experience in
the disciplines of Tai Chi and Qi Gong and is passionate about imparting
his knowledge to others, to benefi t their lives. Now his techniques and
training are accessible in this comprehensive book, The Key to Qi, which
needed to be written.
I practice Integrative Medicine, bridging the gap between Western
Medicine and Traditional therapies which include acupuncture, nutrition,
homoeopathy and Chinese Herbal Medicine. Defi cient nutrition, stress,
pollution and toxicity predispose to an imbalance of Qi, which may lead
to disease. I recommend Tai Chi and Qi Gong to my patients as part of
daily health insurance and maintenance. I believe that early prevention
is preferable to striving for a cure.
In his book, Gadi shows us with practical steps, his adaptation of
time-honoured traditions of Tai Chi and Qi Gong, and how to connect
to our Qi in order to maintain balance and harmony in body, mind and
spirit. I highly recommend The Key to Qi, both to read and for enjoyable
practice. May your health be greatly enhanced as a result.

The Key to Qi is written with such clarity and focus, that it should be
regarded as a most generous gift by Gadi to all of us. It deserves to be every reader’s constant companion, to be read and re-read, or to be
explored and savoured lesson-by-lesson, paragraph-by-paragraph in order
to bolster our Practise and our physical, mental, and emotional health.
