Qi (pronounced chee) is bioelectricity. It is also known as the life force energy of all living things. Qigong uses this life force energy in three different types of Qigong categories:
- Martial Qigong, the study of using the life force energy to defend, fight, and disarm your opponent.
- Spiritual Qigong, the study using meditative internal visualization of the life force energy for spiritual for growth and development
- Medical Qigong, the study for health and healing, specifically designed for medicinal affects
Qigong is composed of three aspects to promote vitality by gently stretching and moving the body to dissolve energy flow blockages. These components include
- Physical exercise
- Meditation and visualization
- Breathing exercises
The goals of Medical Qigong practices are
- to balance and harmonize the yin (blood, body fluids, and quiescent) and the yang (metabolic functions of Qi activity) of the body.
- to harmonize the body and mind with your environment.
- High Blood Pressure
- Mortality and stroke
- Levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) called anti-aging enzyme
- Sex hormone levels
- Cardiovascular functions
- Cancer
- Senility
- Bone density
- Endocrine gland function
- Asthma
- Immune function
- Cholesterol levels
Qigong is different than regular exercise. Qigong cultivates posture, breath, and focused intention to partner with your life force energies to purge, strengthen, and regulate balances in your body. It is simple, but also very effective.
The practice of Qigong can help you improve your health. Often, the results can be rather remarkable and astonishing.
