We live in a field of qi, “vital breath” or “ vital life energy.” Yet, like a fish in water or a bird in flight, we are unaware of the medium that supports us and aids us to truly live our lives.

What Qigong means “understanding and working with the Qi.” It is the ancient Chinese art and science of becoming aware of this major life energy and learning how to use its flow through a precise flow of posture, movement, respiratory technique, and meditation. Like biofeedback, qigong teaches psychophysiological self-regulation; the student becomes aware of bodily functions conventionally addressed involuntary blood pressure, respiratory rate, even the flow of blood and nutrients to internal organs– and learns to restore a healthier wellness balance. Qigong is one of the most cost-effective self-healing methods in the world. The only investment needed is your unconditional time, a half-hour to an hour each day and sometimes just seven minutes; the dividends of better health, increased vitality, and peaceful alertness are gained daily and are cumulative.

The meaning of Qigong (is also spelled Ch’i Kung) is a very powerful system of healing and energy medicine that came from China. Qigong practice leads to better health and vitality and a tranquil state of mind to mention just a few benefits.
