Qi Gong & Tai Chi

What is Qi Gong?

The word Qi Gong (pronounced “chi – gong”) is a combination of two ideas: “Qi” means air, breath of life, or vital energy of the body, and “Gong” means the skill of working with, or cultivating,self-discipline and achievement. The art of Qi Gong consists primarily of meditation, relaxation, physical movement, mind-body integration, and breathing exercises.

 

For thousands of years, millions of people have benefited from Qi Gong practice and believed that improving the function of Qi maintains health and heals disease.In traditional Chinese medicine, good health is a result of a free flowing, well balanced energy system. It is believed that regular practice of Qi Gong helps to cleanse the body of toxins, restores energy, reduces stress, and anxiety, and helps individuals maintain a healthy and active life style.

What is Tai Chi?

Qi Gong and Tai Chi are based on the highest principles of the Tao. Through daily Qi Gong/Tai Chi practice, we can become as children again, without stiffness or tension. We can relearn how to move freely and naturally with the whole body connected, both structurally and energetically. In this way we mirror our connection to the larger whole, as part of the universe.

Once one learns the postures, the rest of the work in mastering Qi Gong/Tai Chi involves learning to use energy in each posture. Working with Chi (energy) is called internal work. The internal work is what makes Qi Gong/Tai Chi unique and what distinguishes it from external forms of martial arts. The inner structure is what allows the body to move as a whole.

Originating in China, Qi Gong/Tai Chi is an ancient form of meditative exercise used to improve and maintain good health, increase longevity and improve self-defense.
