Qi Gong
Qi Gong (Qigong, Qi Kung, Chi Gong) is a 5,000 year old preventative medicine based on movement, breathing and meditation. Its roots are deep. They sit in Chinese Medicine, Martial Arts, and philosophy. Chi means “life energy” or "life force”. Whilst Gong (Kung) mean work, skill or mastery. Qi Gong movements are all based on natural movements, the way the wind moves trees, the way water flows.
I have been doing Qi Gong for about a decade. Not daily. Sometimes not even weekly. But in times of stress or tension I go back there. I go back there because Qi Gong makes me feel better, feel stronger, feel more like me.
So when the Lockdown started I started Qi Gong again. I felt great. If I felt great maybe others will too.
That was March 2020. I’m still going. Three time a week on instagram @theqigang and by appointment.
