Qigong
According to Chinese medical philosophy, Qi is the energy or the life-force that circulates within our bodies
and all around us in the air we breathe. Qigong is used
to build and harmonize this energy within our bodies.
There are many different types of Qigong and most
are simple to perform. We align our breath with slow,
repeated movements and then pay attention to the
exercise. Balance, metabolism and circulation are all
impacted significantly. Energy levels are tonified, yet
the mind calms and muscles relax. With regular practice, sleep improves as stress and anxiety diminish. The
Yin and Yang aspects of our lives are strengthened and
harmonized, and we develop a real appreciation for
the blessings of everyday life.
