What is Qi Gong?
The National Qi gong Association describes the qi gong as “a mind-body-spirit practice that helps to improve one’s physical and mental health by adding movement, posture, breathing technique, self-massage, focused intent, and sound.
There are numerous qi gong styles, traditions, schools, lineages, and forms, each with different theories and practical applications of Qi Gong. The meaning of Qi is ‘vital energy or subtle breath,’ and the meaning of Gong is ‘skill got through steady practice. This practice is not new and has been used for thousands of years.
