Qigong
Qi Gong (Chi Kung) is a powerful energy healing system that connects the body, mind and spirit. It is believed to originate in China over 5000 years ago and is the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It was developed within the vast realm of TCM and is responsible for a multitude of health benefits. The word literally means “energy work” or “energy training” but the actual practice is far deeper than its description.
Qi Gong is the art
and science of cultivating and manipulating one’s inner vital life force with the intentions of healing. Practitioners can gain control of and direct the healthy flow of their Qi, or life force, for self-healing. There are thousands of Qi Gong systems now in existence today.
TaiChi & Qigong are similar in movements, but the difference is Qi Gong is more of an “energy exercise” that balances and strengthens your chi, while tai chi is more of a coordination form that circulates your chi.
Qigong is accumulation, cultivation and manipulation of chi.
