What is Qigong?

Qigong is a general term for Chinese meditations and exercises that are used to improve and maintain good health and promote longevity. Qi is the life force or energy within all living things. While Qi is actually in everything, living and non-living, we will keep this discussion focused on the energy within humans. Gong refers to ones ability or skill. Thus, Qigong means Qi ability. A person that practices Qigong develops the ability to work with and improve their own Qi, thus improving their health.

Qigong has been around for over three thousand years and  has its roots in Tradition Chinese Medicine (TCM). In fact, Qigong is often referred to as the Grandfather of TCM. There are more than 35,000 forms of Qigong around the world. According to the theory of TCM, disease occurs in the human body when the Qi flow is disturbed (excess, deficient or blocked). The practice of Qigong will help to smooth out the flow of Qi in the body, thus restoring balance and improving one's health.

Qigong has gotten much attention over the last 20 years or so in the US 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." I invite you to explore Qigong with me and see for yourself what benefits come from practicing Qigong.
