What is the difference between Tai Chi and Qigong?
Qigong (energy work) is a broad category of energy-based practices. Technically speaking, both T’ai Chi and meditation are Qigong practices. T’ai Chi uses movements with martial applications to gather and regulate qi energy. The Qigong forms that I teach use movements that are solely designed to gather and regulate qi energy. I feel that doing T’ai Chi is generally better for improving balance and Qigong forms gather and balance qi energy more quickly.
