QiGong FAQs

What is QiGong?

~Qigong is a form of gentle exercise composed of movements that are repeated a number of times, often stretching the body, increasing fluid movement (blood, synovial and lymph) and building awareness of how the body moves through space. These gentle movements and deep breathing differentiate qigong from almost every other form of exercise in the West that often emphasizes prolonged cardiovascular movements (such as in running and biking) or that focus on muscular strength training (weight lifting).

 

Besides physical benefits, what else is QiGong good for? 

~Many physical problems are at least partially due to, or aggravated by, mental or emotional stress, so the importance of the inner tranquility developed through QiGong cannot be overestimated. The practice of QiGong helps manage the stress, anger, depression, morbid thoughts, and general confusion that prey on your mind when your chi is not regulated and balanced. Strengthening and balancing the energy of your mind enhances your ability to detect subtle nuances and to perceive the world and its patterns at ever-increasing levels of complexity. People who do not practice some form of energy development may never acquire these abilities.

 

Why should I learn QiGong?

~Qigong can improve your physical and mental health.  It provides all the benefits of meditation (reduced stress, lower blood pressure, better attitude, etc.) with physical exercises.  The enhancement of the mind/body connection increases your awareness of where your body needs work - where your body needs changes related to diet, exercise, sleep, lifestyle, etc.

This mind/body connection is not a trivial issue.  It can influence the course of all manner of chronic diseases.

 

Is this a religion? 

~No. Most definitely not.  It is a tool for improving health, enhancing your mind/body connection, and connecting you with the qi or life force.  It can enhance your own spirituality.  You can use that to enhance your own religious path or not.  It is up to you.

Qigong's great beauty is that it can be used by anyone to enhance their spiritual path no matter what that path is.

 

How does the Qi (chee) move?  

~The science of QiGong is based on the axiom that the mind has the ability to direct Qi. People who practice QiGong can begin to feel their nerves, and this ability increases with time. You can learn to "go inside your body" with your mind, feel what is there, and direct your qi where it needs to go. This is not a mysterious process, but a natural one that can be acquired with time and effort.
