What is Qigong?

Qigong exercises are not complicated and Anyone Can Learn!

Qigong is an art from China that is well known for its healing properties. Throughout its history people have practiced these exercises to improve and maintain their health.

Qigong works with the body’s energy or Qi (pronounced Chee), the physical body, and the mind. Training works to harmonize the posture, the breath, and the mind. Qigong can fit into anyone’s daily schedule and the exercises are not difficult to learn.

Qigong is also sometimes written in English as: Chi Kung, Qi Gung, Ki Gong

Finding the right Qigong style

It is also important to understand that there are many types of Qigong exercises. In fact there are hundreds and hundreds of different styles or exercise sets. And there is no one style that is right for everyone.

It is important to find the style that is right for you. With the right Qigong style the exercises will fit into your lifestyle and schedule and you will stay interested. This makes continued practice easier and enjoyable.

Consistency is the key to gaining the benefits that Qigong has to offer.

We offer instruction in a variety of styles - so you can choose what best fits your interest.

How to learn Qigong

There are many ways to learn Qigong. The first step in learning something is first to research the subject. By educating yourself you can determine the best course to follow. This is exactly why we have created this website for you.

You can use this website to find out all about Qigong.

You can learn about Qi, Qigong, how it works, why and how to practice, and much more.

There are several ways you might go about learning Qigong. the first would be by purchasing a book. I think books are great for getting information out there and if you have a lot of experience with Qigong I think you can actually learn form a book. But, I think that for a beginner trying to learn from a book is going to be difficult.

First it is difficult to understand the movements from pictures and written descriptions.

And second, there is no feedback the way you would get if you were learning from a teacher.

Then there are DVDs.

This is a better option then learning from a book. You can see the movements and follow along. But again there is no feedback from a teacher.

I think DVDs are best used to learn more or research different styles of Qigong.

Local Qigong classes might be available in your area.

This is always a good option. But you must research and learn about what is being offered and check into the qualifications of the teacher. This can sometimes be difficult because it is easy for unqualified teachers to sound like they know what they are talking about, they might not.

In addition you will have to make it to the class and try to remember the instruction to practice on your own. This can be difficult and you might miss out on what Qigong really has to offer you just because you are not able to make it a part of your daily routine.

(also most classes in Qigong will be about an hour long- this might lead you to believe that Qigong takes an hour to practice- but really the hour long class is because gyms and studios have hour long classes- its just something they do- so the qiogng class has to conform to the class schedule.

If you have read this page you already understand that Qigong can take much less time then that to practice and you are already ahead of the game)

If you been confused about Qigong before- Its not your fault.

There is a lot of confusion about Qigong, what it is, what you can expect from practicing, etc. If you are just starting out and you have done some research online or even if you have doing it for a while- its not your fault if you are confused about what you have been told or what you have read — because there is a lot of misleading and bad information out there. So before we get started lets clear some things up.

Qigong and Healing

The exercises of Qigong help to regulate and strengthen the body both inside and out. In fact many people promote the exercises because of their healing properties.

But how exactly does this work?

The gentle, slow, smooth, exercises of Qigong work to gently move and stretch the body much in the same way that the art of Tai Chi does.

But, Qigong is much easier to learn then Tai Chi.

The gentle movements not only give a low impact workout but they also stimulate the free circulation of energy and blood in the body.

Over time this improved circulation can account for much of the health benefits and healing that has been reported from practicing Qigong.

Circulation is vital for health and healing.

Without the proper supply of energy and nutrients the body can not maintain an optimal level of function.

If through gentle exercise daily you can stimulate and strengthen the circulation of these vital components and building blocks of the body the results can be tremendous.
