Qi what?
Qigong
Usually translated as "cultivating and maintaining vital energy".
Qigong: a self-care practice
Qigong is an easy and accessible self-care and holistic mind-body practice that integrates movements, breathing techniques, and mindful intention. When practiced consciously and regularly, Qigong helps us to increase our energy level, deal with pain, increase our immune function, and calm our mind. It fosters relaxation, rejuvenation, restoration, stress reduction, emotional health and mental clarity. Ultimately, it helps us to feel better and embody a general sense of well-being. It offers a transformative experience for our body, our mind, and our spirit.
Qigong: a healing modality
What people know less about Qigong is that this ancestral practice is also a complete holistic medical system. Indeed, Medical Qigong is considered to be one of the four main branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), along with acupuncture, herbal medicine, and Tui Na massage. Medical Qigong is a non-intrusive, complementary and integrative energy-based approach for health maintenance, longevity, disease prevention and treatment of diseases and disorders. Its application is both preventive and curative and can assist us in our natural ability to heal.
