Qigong
Qigong literally means 'energy cultivation' and refers to exercises aimed at bringing about harmony, as well as improving health and longevity.
Healing methods involve breathing, movement, the mind and the eyes. It is a component of Traditional Chinese Medicine that combines movement, meditation, and controlled breathing. The intent is to improve blood flow and the flow of Qi. Although Qigong is often confused with martial arts or Tai Chi, Qigong is usually much slower and focuses on the 'Qi' aspect to a much greater degree. With more than 10,000 styles of Qigong and 200 million people practicing there are a variety of methods.
Benefits of Qigong include improving strength, improving health, possible reversal of disease, learning to work with Qi as a healing method, becoming more connected with nature and the universe.
