Mindful Movement ~ Qigong QiGong (pronounced cheegong) can be described as being like a moving meditation. Qi is energy and gong means skillful use, so QiGong is skillful use of lifeforce energy. QiGong dates back thousands of years so is an older practice than Tai Chi (which originated around 850 years ago) and is closely linked with the origins of yoga and meditation. QiGong is gentle on the body and encourages soft flowing movements through the joints. Although it my appear similar to Tai Chi the movements are less complicated with an emphasis on focusing the mind and relaxing the body and through awareness of the breath creating a sense of meditation and stillness within. The benefits of a regular QiGong practice include greater energy levels, a calmer, clearer mind and improvement in movement and flexibility. |
