Qi Gong 气功
Qi Gong is part of traditional Chinese medicine and is used to maintain a healthy and long life.
Qigong has been practised in China for thousands of years. My Chinese friends keep sending me photos of parks where many people of all ages in China practise their exercises every day. Qi gong combines elements of martial arts, but is performed with slow and flowing movements that serve to balance yin 阴 and yang 阳. The term qigong itself only emerged more recently.
‘Qi’ is the universal life force that flows through the so-called meridians, the pathways of the body.
What is Qi Gong?
Qi Gong originates from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and has the main aim of harmonising Qi 气, the so-called life energy, by means of certain postures and body movements, breathing and mental exercises. The aim is to promote healthy processes in the body and activate the body's self-healing powers through personal responsibility and constant practice.
Qi refers to the active energetic processes in humans. In China, the unimpeded flow of qi and the harmonious handling of it have always been regarded as a basic prerequisite for health and vitality.
There are different types and forms of exercise in Qi Gong.
Qi Gong exercises
Over a thousand different types of Qi Gong are registered in China. What they all have in common is the connection to nature, to the universe and the strengthening of mental abilities and consciousness. They promote health, increase longevity and activate self-healing powers. Each type and form has its own unique style and intensity.
