Is Qigong Right for Me?

The individuality of Qigong

Qigong works on the body, the mind and the spirit of the practitioner. Also it has a profound effect on their families, and their whole surroundings. Within few weeks after practicing Qigong the practitioner can see results. Some diseases can be cured within short period of time. The feeling of wellbeing is profound, including good sleep, and day time calmness and peace.It is good for all ages, including children and elderly.

Qigong is an ancient Chinese system of “breathing”exercises and mental control of “vital energy”. It is a method by which the practitioner gets physical and mental self-exercise through manifestation of personal initiatives. To achieve this aim, the practitioner must associate his mind, postures, breathing and acts on the whole body.

On one hand, it actively self-regulates the functional activities of the body and maintains a dynamic equilibrium. On the other hand, it enables the body to produce an “energy-storing” reaction, reduce energy consumption and increase energy accumulation. It produces the effects of regulating yin and yang, dredging the channels and collaterals and emits external qi. Practicing the emission of external qi has been very effective in treating many disorders in hospitals in China.
