What is Qi Gong?
Qi Gong is a moving meditation that has it's roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Qi Gong is the practice of accumulating and cultivating Qi (energy) in the body. Each movement has been designed to have a specific effect on the body and mind. There are three components to Qi Gong that make it a highly therapeutic practice. When we integrate proper posture, breathing and intention we begin to feel the positive and health-promoting effects of this moving meditation. Quieting our mind allows Qi and blood flow to move smoothly in our body, bringing us back in touch with our natural cycles. Regular Qi Gong practice has been linked to more control of the aging process, by improving circulation, reducing stress, lowering blood pressure, reducing pain, improving immune function and improving sleep. Scientific studies have shown that with regular Qi Gong practice there is a lowered cortisol production in the body. This leaves us feeling less stressed, and less anxious, having more physical strength, improved sexual desire, and spiritual enrichment.
Medical Qi Gong
Medical Qigong is an ancient form of Chinese energetic medicine and is a highly effective healthcare practice. The goal of Medical qigong is to correct bio-energetic imbalances, and stagnations allowing one to tap into their spiritual and innate healing potential. This allows the body to strengthen and regulate the internal organs, the nervous system and the immune system, relieve pain, regulate hormones, and strengthen and release deep-seated emotions and stress.
