Description
Are You Listening?
Music and Medical Qi Gong to Heal Stress for Those Who Hold Everyone Together
Every morning, imagine you are handed a thousand dollars of health — energy, patience, clarity, and calm. How much of it do you spend on everyone else before the day is over?
Are You Listening? was written for the person who is so often holding everything together: family, work, friendships, responsibilities — while quietly putting their own wellbeing last.
Beginning with a childhood memory in Kenya, where Iqbal Ishani’s grandfather asked him a simple question — tu sambhale chhe? Are you listening? — the book follows a journey through music, travel, broadcasting, and decades of Medical Qi Gong practice.
Along the way, Iqbal turns those experiences into simple practices that can be brought into everyday life.

- The Three Treasures — Jing, Qi and Shen — and the Three Dantians where energy is gathered and cultivated

About Iqbal Ishani
Iqbal Ishani’s life has been shaped by sound, movement, travel, and a curiosity about how we find calm within busy lives.
Raised in Kenya, his journey has taken him from music and safari guiding to study in Europe and a career recording sound for German television around the world. Alongside that work, he spent decades studying and practising Qi Gong, eventually developing his own approach to bringing its principles into modern everyday life.
Are You Listening? brings those different paths together — personal stories, music, Medical Qi Gong, breath, and the lessons passed down through his family — into the practice he calls IQ Balance.
