Qigong is a general Chinese term for exercises, meditations and breathing techniques that are practiced daily for reducing stress, improving and maintaining good health and promoting longevity. Qi, pronounced “chee”, is the life force or energy within all living things. While Qi is actually in everything, living and non-living, this discussion will focus on the energy within humans. Gong refers to ones ability or skill. Thus, Qigong refers to one’s Qi ability. A person that practices Qigong, develops the ability to work with and improve their own Qi, thus improving their health.
Qigong has gotten much attention over the last 20 years or so in the U.S. and has been featured on PBS documentaries and even more recently on more mainstream shows like the Dr Oz show. According to Dr. Mehmet Oz M.D., “If you want to be healthy and live to 100, do Qigong.” One major benefit from practicing is stress reduction through relaxation. I invite you to explore Qigong with me and see for yourself what other benefits come from practicing Qigong.
