Have you ever seen a movie clip of men and women in China practicing a never-ending series of graceful, swaying hand and body movements outdoors, in parks and other open areas? Chances are they were practicing Chi Kung or Qi Gong (pronounced “chee gung”), a Chinese system of exercises and meditation that is thousands of years old. Qi Gong uses visualization, controlled breathing, self-massage, stances, movements and meditation to improve the health and well-being of its practitioners. Interestingly, many Chinese martial artists also consider Qi Gong an important tool to advance their fighting abilities. As a system of health, this ancient practice is based on the fascinating idea that the human body is fully capable of maintaining and healing itself, and all that we have to do is learn how to help our bodies do so.
