What is Chi Kung


Chi Kung (sometimes written "Qi Gong" or "Qigong"), is an invaluable component of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Over 60 million people in China practice Chi Kung every day, making it the most popular health exercise in that country. The important features and aims of Chi Kung are relaxation, quietness, naturalness, unity of breath and mind, gradual development and practicing to the individual's state of health. Chi Kung is ideal for practitioners of other modalities, to facilitate relaxation and energy in clinics.
What are the health benefits of practicing Chi Kung?

The learning and regular practice of Chi Kung can:
•    Reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being through calming the mind and deepening the respiration,
•    Improve digestion, respiration, cardio-vascular and nervous systems,
•    Improve sleep quality and relieve fatigue,
•    Improve health and resistance to illness,
•    Strengthen the practitioner both physically and mentally.

Why is Chi Kung used for relaxation and stress management?
The "Three Essentials of Chi Kung" are posture, mind and breathing. Because of the emphasis on these essentials, relaxation benefits are most often felt in the very first lesson. Where gentle movement, attention to posture and the deepening of the breath leads, a calm mind follows.

Where does Chi Kung come from?
The term "Chi Kung" is an accepted English equivalent of the Chinese word "Qigong", where "Qi" ("Chi" or "Ki") means "breath" (as a conceptual term, this refers to the energy in the human body) and "gong" ("Kung") means "achievement" or "skill".
