Qigong is a holistic path to well being; in modern China is often called yang sheng, “ the art of nurturing life” cultivating the physical, mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual aspects of our life.

 

Qigong has been found to have countless health benefits such as increasing core strength, blood flow, bone density, enzyme activity, serum lipid levels and cardiovascular health.  It reduces stress, and risk of stroke, greatly improves asthma, and has anti-cancer and anti-aging effects.

states, "Clinical studies have found that Qigong positively affects psychological and emotional symptoms including anxiety, mood, depression and quality of life. Qigong also help decrease physical symptoms such as pain, numbness, dizziness, fatigue, and inflammation."

​

Athletes enjoy Qigong because it improves strength, stamina, coordination, and other skills necessary for peak performance.

 

As a spiritual art, it deepens awareness of self and nature and creates a feeling of harmony, tranquility, and peace.

Spiritual Qigong is not the quest to have a metaphysical or transcendental experience.  It's the practice of mindfulness,

a state of active, open attention on the present. When you're mindful, you carefully observe your thoughts and feelings without judging them good or bad.  It means living in the moment and awakening to your current experience, internally and externally. 

 

Qigong has had a wonderful impact in my life, so much so, I decided to change careers and share what I have learned, in hopes it will make a difference in your life as well.
