How does it works?TOP

Qigong has a history of at least 3,000 years in China. People found that certain body movements along with various ways of breathing and mental concentration, could greatly improve some body functions. One of its important function is to release the stress.

The enhanced movement of Qi ('chi' - life-force, bioelectric vitality) is promoted throughout the body as well as the storing and strengthening of Qi for good health and for protecting you from external influences. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which grew out of Qigong, believes blocked and stagnant Qi leads to all pain and disease.

Did you know that physicians now agree that over 70% of disease and illness is stress related and preventable?

One intention or purpose of Qigong practice is to develop or cultivate Spirituality. This practice takes the form of meditation, including moving meditation as well as stillness. The meditations often take their forms from Nature. The practice of moving like a river increases circulation and encourages fluidity of movement. Standing like a mountain builds strength and endurance, increasing longevity. Walking with the grace of a deer or soaring in the sky like a bird brings you into harmony with a spirit much greater than yourself. It connects you to a resource of nourishment for your own spirit -- spirit being as vital to your health as the food you eat.


What a Qigong Practitioner can do for you?TOP

One intention or purpose of Qigong practice is healing -- healing yourself and healing others. This practice is referred to as Medical Qigong, and is based on the Chinese Medical theory that illness results from imbalance or blockage of vital energy that flows through the body. The flow of energy in the body occurs in specific pathways called meridians. As the acupuncturist uses needles to increase or decrease the flow of energy through the meridians, the Qigong practitioner uses posture, movement, breath, and mind to cultivate and circulate "qi" for the purpose of maintaining and improving health.
