| Qi is “vital energy” Gong is “time and effort”.Qi Gong (pronounced ‘chee gong’) is an excellent practice to help us to reconnect to the natural rhythms and to find simplicity and softness in an ever complicated world. The Ancients were well aware that in order to maintain health, the body’s energies must be kept in balance and free flowing.There are literally hundreds of different styles of Qi Gong; the method I teach is known as Shaolin Neigong. This style was traditionally adopted by the sages for cultivation and protection of Qi and for self healing. A class consists of gentle postures, healing sounds, energy work, breathing and meditation. These all have a powerful effect on health and well-being. Qi Gong helps to:
• Balance, restore and protect energy
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Improve mobility, posture, balance and co-ordination
• Combat disease
• Strengthen individual organs
• Cleanse the body of toxins
• Improve circulation
• Cultivate a sense of peace and well-being
Qi Gong is a gentle form of exercise and can therefore be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities. |
