What is Qi Gong/Chi Kung?
Qi Gong (also known as Chi Kung) is the art of developing vital energy particularly for health, vitality, mind expansion and spiritual cultivation. It consists of various breathing exercises akin to pranayama in yoga. Because of the secrecy behind more advanced pranayama techniques, and the simultaneous opening up of Qi Gong to public study and research, Qi Gong and its application to the field of personal health have exceeded that of pranayama making it a much more effective tool for maintaining health and vitality.
