What is qigong?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Qi is the Chinese word for “life energy”, Qi is the life-force energy that flows through all living things and it is this energy that connects us to nature, to all beings and life on earth.<\/p>\n

Gong is the Chinese word for “work” thus Qigong means working with our life-force energy, learning how to control the flow and distribution of Qi though simple movements, posture, breathing and awareness to improve the health and harmony of our mind and body.<\/p>\n

Why practice qigong?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When we are healthy our Qi is flowing smoothly through our bodies and our energy is clear. Blockages in our Qi can form as a result of illness or emotional trauma and this can cause our Qi flow to become blocked or stagnant. Having a simple daily practice, or going to a class, is a way of working with the energy in and around your body. The art of qigong recognises that daily cleansing of the energy in the body by working with it, keeps the body in balance and removes stagnant energy; it can be thought of in the same way that you wash or shower to clean the physical body, qigong cleans out the energetic body.<\/p>\n
