Qi Gong

"as you start to walk on the way, the way appears” ~ Rumi, 13th century poet

Qi Gong is a wholistic self-healing practice based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and has been practiced for millenia.  Qi Gong assists with vitality and overall health by balancing the body’s life force energy, called “qi”, to improve energy flow and maintain harmony within the mind, body and spirit.  Qi Gong activates the body's natural healing abilities through gentle, intentional and repetitive movement, breath, and focus.  There are many benefits of Qi Gong, including improved physical and mental well-being, enhanced focus, and emotional regulation, and can assist with conditions like fatigue, anxiety, and chronic pain.

 Qi Gong influences “qi” life force energy in the body.  Qi flows along meridians, or energy channels, of the body.  This invisible network of channels is also affected in modalities like acupuncture.  Disruptions in this flow can be caused by stress and tension, including lack of sleep, and nonbeneficial lifestyle choices, resulting in disharmony, ill-ease or dis-ease. Regular practice of Qi Gong assists with harmonising life force flow for improved health and well-being.

 Qi Gong can be practiced by most people, and has many benefits:
- promotes a calm nervous system
- helps to release tension
- promotes inner peace and relaxation
- improves concentration and mental clarity
- improves circulation, balance, flexibility, sleep and immune function
- can help manage chronic symptoms like pain
- reduces fatigue and assists with vitality
- cultivates emotional resistance and inner harmony
- supports the body’s natural healing processes 

Qi Gong can be practiced by most people, and is not limited by age, location, flexibility or fitness levels.  The regular practice of Qi Gong enables significant improvements in the health of participants, and is worth exploring for individuals seeking a better quality of life.
