What is Qi?

Qi, chi, prana, shakti, ki are the same word in different languages which translate as vital life force Energy.  Gong means discipline or diligent practice.

Qigong (chee gong) combines slow, gentle movements, breathing, concentration and visualization to obtain and maintain a healthy body, mind, spirit and emotional energy.  Qigong’s great appeal is that anyone can enrich their lives by adding Qigong to their daily routine, regardless of ability , age, belief system, or life circumstances.  Anybody can do Qigong and feel revitalized and relaxed in a few minutes.  Qigong exercises enable people to feel better and perform with higher levels of energy and stamina.

Qigong is a highly effective health care practice.  Many health care professionals recommend Qigong as an important form of complementary and alternative medicine.  Qigong is the great grandparent of Tai Chi with many similarities.

Qigong exercises properly practiced can improve balance and coordination, help to relieve pain, illness, and physical problems, maintain and improve your state of physical fitness and mental well being, provide a feeling of calm, comfort balance and rejuvenation, improve physical strength, stamina and energy, aid in increasing longevity and overall good health, calm mind and connect with spirit, as well as awaken your senses!

The more you practice and become mindful of the Qi circulating within and around you, the better you will feel – you may even feel ‘younger’…” – Cynthia Bell Niermann
