7 ways to use Qigong
• Healing Qigong, aka Medical Qigong, is about self-healing, the art of prevention.
Everyone is exposed to stress and stressors. The differences are our reactions to
stress. Qigong teaches how to attune our inner states so that we can modulate and
better manage reactive symptoms to stressors like anxiety, quickened breathing,
mental confusion, high blood pressure.
• Healthy fit people practice Qigong to become super healthy.
• External Qi healing techniques can be combined with other wellness techniques like massage, acupuncture, Eden Energy Medicine and Therapeutic Touch. As your reservoir of Qi expands, your desire and abilities to help and heal others increases.
• Sports and Marital Arts: Qigong is a key to strength, stamina, coordination, speed, flexibility, balance and resistance to injury and resilience for recovery. The practice of Qigong can improve any sport from golf, surfing, tennis, swimming, bicycling, skiing, mountain climbing, soccer and dancing. It is beneficial for virtually any pursuit or activity that involves coordination, balance, lightning reflexes and flexibility. Who doesn’t aspire to the skills of a trained Ninja?
• Expressive Arts, acting, theater, many creative pursuits benefit doing Qigong by increasing confidence as well as cultivating physical and emotional expressiveness and range. Qigong takes focus and discipline which are keys to expanding creativity and the boundaries of your own amazing potential; the “force” truly is within you.
• As a Spiritual discipline, Qigong leads to greater self-awareness and harmony with nature. The practitioner of Qigong feels a kinship with nature and oneness with all life because all of life is animated by Qi, invisible life force energy. Nature, especially the elements, flow of water, stability of earth, quickening of fire, lightness of air, are metaphors for this practice. Cultivating our own Qi seems effortless amidst the beauty and wonders of the natural world. Tapping into one’s own Qi reservoir humbles the practitioner to a greater unifying power.
• Western Science and Integrative Medicine. As modern scientists study the invisible energy of the universe, quantum physics intersects with Qi practice and study of the ancients. Today western medicine recognizes that mindful, intentional movements have beneficial effects on mind, body, and emotions. Qigong is a complement to Western medicine.
