What is Qigong (Chee goong)?
Qigong is an art and science of ancient Chinese origin, which is at the core of modern Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), martial arts, and many Eastern spiritual disciplines. Its practice and theory revolve around the concept of cultivating and maintaining the healthy flow and circulation of qi (i.e., vital energy/life force, vital substances and informational signals). The practice generally consists of slowly flowing movements, breathing exercises, meditation, massage techniques, and conscious intent, all used for the purpose of achieving an integrated adjustment of the mind, body, and spirit. The benefits of using qigong are enormous. It strengthens, stretches, and relaxes your body, energizes your mind, enhances mind/body connection, increases blood flow, maintains bone health, regulates hormone production, and massages your internal organs, keeping you healthy and youthful.
