Qigong improves health, exploits potential to achieve harmony inside the body by adjusting movement, breath and mind in practice. It distinguishes itself from other physical exercise with requirement for breath and mind, and with the unique integrated state of “3 adjustments into 1”.
What is Health Qigong?
The term Qigong is a combination of 2 words:
- CHI (QI) 氣 means energy
- GONG 功 means work
Qi is the vital force in the Universe and is used to describe all types of energy. Gong represents power obtained by a steady practice. Qigong represents the study of Qi. Health Qigong is a way to train the nervous system, the mind and the internal organs all in the same time having as the result an increased level of fitness and power.
The aim of Qigong exercise is to stimulate the flow of internal energy called ‘Chi’ through channels (called meridians) and build internal strength. Qigong uses breathing techniques, practices and disciplines of Chinese Buddhism, Taoism and Martial Arts. These breathing techniques control the internal movement of Chi while the body will be motionless.
Origin and schools of Qigong
Qigong is a psychosomatic practicing skill that adjusts body, breath and mind into one.
- The first adjustment is to adjust posture and movement.
- The second is to adjust breath type
