Your Well-Being and the Fundamentals of Qi Gong

By Elisa Rosa


The long, rich history of the Chinese people has given birth to many forms of holistic medicine and self care. Qi Gong practices are among the most commonly practiced in China and becoming very popular around the world. The basis of this practice is the cultivation and manipulation of the Qi which represents the vital life force and breath.

By controlling the movement of the breath in and out of the body, you can cultivate the movement of your energy. This promotes good health and reduces stress and toxins in the body. Any chance you have to reduce the amounts of stress that you suffer from can have a massive impact on the quality of your life.

Rather than focusing on a few major body systems, they include cultivation of the muscles, heart and lungs, as well as the circulatory, lymphatic, digestive, and nervous systems and the internal organs. controlling the movement of energy through the body allows you to build and strengthen all of these systems and promote health from the inside out. Where Western exercise is focused on building strength and endurance, Qi Gong also includes balance, focus and relaxation.

The benefits of Qi Gong to people in our modern society are broad and very significant. One of the biggest benefits is the ability to develop health and fitness without causing impact and strain on your body. In this way you aren't working against yourself by building up and breaking down the body at the same time.

You can take classes and learn the basics. Meanwhile, you get to meet others in your area who share your interests and maybe form a group who practice together. Take a hint from Chinese practitioners and get together in the park to relax, enjoy nature and improve your health and well-being with the discipline of Qi Gong. Start improving your health today!
