Qigong (pronounced “chee-gong”) is an ancient art of energy cultivation, dating back over 5,000 years.
Qi means ‘life force energy’ and Gong means ‘skill’, so the practice of Qigong focuses on nourishing our life force and developing a refined skill to feel our energy systems.
Using awareness-based movement, intention, breath, self massage and visualisation, Qigong is renowned for its many benefits to the body, mind and spirit. The most common positive outcomes from regular practice being:
- Harmonises, balances and optimises the flow of energy in the body
- Creates inner empowerment and a deep connection to nature through seasonal practice
- Calms stress and stimulates the relaxation response to reset and balance the nervous system
- Allows the whole being to return to center and alignment, in order to function optimally
- Strengthens the immune system
- Transforms fatigue, tension, overwhelm, stress or anxiety
- Generates ‘space’ in the body so the Qi can flow easily through the 12 principle meridians
- Welcomes inner peace and stillness
Qigong flows, sequences and forms can become a moving meditation, where one movement flows effortlessly into the next. Calming the nervous system and creating an openness in the body, Qigong allows the mind to fall into a state of active relaxation while the body clears, circulates and nourishes energy.
