QIGONG

WHAT  IS QIGONG?

The Healing Movement System

Qigong, qi gong, chi kung, or chi gung, as it is sometimes known, is a centuries-old healing movement system which has a long history in China. Qigong integrates co-ordinated body posture, movement, breathing, self-massage, sound, and focused intent and is a mind-body-spirit practice that improves mental and physical health. There are many styles of qigong such as Soaring Crane, Wisdom Healing, Dragon and Tiger, 8 Pieces of Brocade and more.

 

Qigong opens the flow of energy in meridians used in acupuncture and Chinese medicine. It enhances our ability to feel the Life Force underlying the physical world and to deepen our communication with it. Qi means “vital energy” or “life force” and Gong means “skill cultivated through steady practice”. Some believe that Qigong is best practiced barefoot outdoors.

Why Practice Qigong?

Slow gentle qigong movements warm tendons, ligaments, and muscles; tonify vital organs and connective tissue; and promotes circulation of body fluids (blood, synovial, lymph). Studies have shown Qigong effective in helping to reduce high blood pressure and chronic illness and also to heal  emotional issues, mental stress and anxiety, and spiritual crisis.

Where Can I Find a Qigong Class?

Qigong can be practised either as a discipline in its own right, or as a perfect complement to your tai chi training. If there are no instructors in your area, many teachers regularly travel to give workshops in all regions of the country. Alternatively check out some easy qigong movement exercises on the internet but obviously be mindful of your own limitations to avoid injury. It is always best to work with a qualified instructor first if possible. More info at British Qigong Association at http://healthqigong.org.uk/info/find_class.php
