What is Qi Gong?
The term “Qi Gong” is composed of 2 terms:
氣 “Qì” (pronounced chee), the vital energy that flows through all living things in the universe
功 “Gōng” (pronounced gung) – means "to work", "the skill of working"
Together, the term Qi Gong means "working on the vital (internal) energy"
The Chinese have for thousands of years believed in the existence of Qì.
Qì is the basic life force that exists in every living thing from plants to animals to humans. Without Qì we cannot exist.
Qì Gōng is the practice of gentle flowing movements, much like Tai Chi (Tai Ji). There are many forms of Qi Gong, each of which incorporates different sequences of movements.
It originated in China more than 5,000 years ago and was passed down through generations.
Why do people practice Qi Gong?
People practice Qì Gōng to enhance their physical health, mental and emotional well-being.
Chinese exercises - Qi Gong and Tai Ji - optimise the flow of Qì (energy) in your body helping to put your "state of being" into the finest order.
The practice of Qi Gong and/or Tai Ji increases your energy and restores your health and vitality, at the same time supporting your inner sense of peace and balance.
What is Medical Qi Gong?
Qi Gong can also be used for medical purposes. Medical Qi Gong is another therapy of TCM.
After a full TCM diagnosis, the practitioner might decide that the appropriate form of treatment for a patient is to restore the balance and/or movement of Qì within the person (along the Jīng Luò – the “acupuncture channels”, “meridians”) with some work (Gōng) on the person’s Qì.
Also, the practitioner may include some Qi Gong exercises in your treatment regime so that you can continue the work on your Qì between treatments.
Qigong is a mind-body practice that improves one's mental and physical health by integrating postures, movement, breathing techniques, and focused intention.
Professor Xia Shuangquan and Professor Song Xinhong taught this system of Qigong to selected graduates and we are very proud of being amoungst those who have been graduated in Medical Qi Gong (Licenciate in MQG, Lic MQG).
