QIGONG
Qigong is the ancient art of longevity developed over 7000 years ago in China. Qi (Chi) is the energy of the body that travels through the network of meridians and connects with the energy of the universe. According to the ancient Taoists, the whole universe has some element of Qi. It can be translated as vital energy, breath or energy of life.
Gong (Kung) is a term that describes the work that is required to achieve a skill; Gong can also be translated as training, mastery, or self-discipline. When we have a blockage of Qi or the pathway is disturbed this can cause illness (both physical and emotional) and eventually shortness of life. Qigong is a conscious practice where each individual takes personal responsibility to balance and harmonize their vital energy - reducing stress, increasing health and vitality as well as developing spiritual perception and awareness. Qigong literally is working with the energy of life.
It is a component of traditional Chinese medicine that can improve blood circulation and enhance immune function Qigong is the art of life.There are many different styles of Qigong, perhaps thousands. When we see people practicing slow gentle movements in the early morning, in parks in China and most countries today we may think they are playing Tai Chi, but they are actually cultivating their life force energy. Qigong is a relatively a new term which describes all the Chinese energy healing techniques, so technically Tai Chi is one type of Qigong.
