Qigong: Ancient Chinese Healing for the 21st Century
What is Qigong?
Qigong is a "mind-body" wellness practice in a new category of exercise called Meditative Movement which integrates exercise, movement, posture, breathing, and awareness.
Qigong (often spelt Chi Kung, 氣功) is a powerful type of health exercise, which has been practised for centuries by millions of Chinese people.
It is based on repetitions of very precise sets of movements, specifically designed to benefit health on many different levels. Qigong’s gentle movements help to move blood and oxygen around the body, nourishing the organs and tissues promoting healing.
In addition, due to the connection of the mind to the breath and physical movements, qigong helps to calm the mind, relieving emotional stress and mental anxiety.
