More about Qigong

It is a form of light mind-body exercise that involves repeated movements, practiced breathwork, stretching, and increasing fluid movement within the body. By doing this, qigong restores the flow of energy in the body and helps us become aware of the flow of our own life force energy, or chi.

Qigong uses meditation, breathing, and movement to increase energy and enable the body to heal itself. The exercise and healing techniques used were developed in ancient China and Tibet. It is practiced for a variety of reasons and has countless health-related benefits.

Qigong works toward resetting the body to a harmonious state by releasing blockages in the energy flow. A variety of techniques are used to achieve this. 

·         The body is regulated through posture.

·         The mind is regulated through focused concentration of mental activity (meditation), quiet and relaxation.

·         Breath is regulated by the movement of the limbs and self-massage.

Many times, a lot of our physical pains stem from or are aggravated by stress, both emotional and mental. Because of this, it’s important for us to find a healthy and calm inner-self – something that qigong helps us achieve. Practicing qigong helps deal with managing anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and negative thoughts
