Qi Gong is an ancient Chinese breathing exercise that stimulates and balances the flow of vital life energy along the meridians of the body. It is taught to patients in order to help them maintain a more balanced lifestyle. Qi Gong cultivates inner strength, calms the mind and restores the body to its natural state of health. Transmission of Qi can gradually restore the optimum functioning of the body’s vital life energy. Practice of Qi Gong can help maintain vital energy levels between treatment sessions.
Qi Gong literally means breath work, and generally extends to “energy cultivation.” It is a general term for highly intentional exercises that circulate, concentrate, or otherwise manipulate the various subtle energies of the body, mind, and spirit. There is an exceedingly large family of internal exercises and meditations with very ancient roots springing from the tree of Oriental Medicine that all fall under the category of ‘qigong.’ Qigong excercises have long been revered throughout all of Asia, culturally known as valuable tools for cultivating the self, relaxing the body, and focusing the mind. The religions of Buddhism and Daoism have always used qigong to aid in their pursuits. Meditation after all, is just another form of qigong. The flowering of the martial arts in Asia is largely due to the application of qigong exercises to the physical conditioning of the body. Oriental doctors throughout the ages have always regarded it as a very high form of medicine. Oriental masters of
