Is Qigong Therapy the same as Qigong Exercise or Tai Chi?
No. Despite their differences, the Chinese refer to anything related to qi exercises or therapy as qigong because both cultivate qi for the body through very different means. The primary goal of Qigong therapy is to locate and correct imbalances in the circulation of qi and lead the patient back to the natural state of good health. This often is done by private healing sessions with a qi healer or therapist. Qigong therapy can be referred to as “acupuncture with out needles”*. Qigong exercises help cultivate and self-regulate the energy in the body through gentle exercises and meditations. Qigong exercises and Tai Chi can be taught and performed individually or in a small group setting. All three can combined together to create a total health regimen.
