Qigong: Ancient Chinese Exercise in Modern context

Qigong: Ancient Chinese Exercise in Modern context

Qigong is a form of ancient Chinese technique to purify, strengthen and circulate life energy. Qigong is also known as Chi Kung. The history of qigong dates back to more than 2500 years. The system of qigong helps us to understand the movement of our bio- electric life force and its effective utilization to heal illness. The word Qigong is made up of the Chinese words Qi which means breath or energy and gong which means exercise or work. It is a combination of exercise and meditation. Qigong uses deep, diaphragmatic breathing in conjunction with slow, synchronous movements to bring our body, mind and spirit into a perfect alignment and balance. It is estimated that more than 80 million people practice Qigong in China today. It can be done either standing, lying down or sitting. Qigong helps to balance our life energy and thus reduces stress. Relieving the stress leads to a strong immune system with balanced blood pressure. As a result our organs function efficiently. Research studies show that regular practice of Qigong can eliminate chronic joint pain, diabetes, health disorders etc. In this modern era of stressful lifestyle Qigong can lead to a stress free life.

Dr. Kenneth Sancier, President and founder of Qigong Institute in California is considered as one of the leading authority of Qigong. Some of the renowned experts include, Michiko Iwao, Wan Su Jian, Zhang Yuan Ming, Lily Sioux, Maria Qinyin etc. There are certain key principles in Qigong. First principle is deep breath, second is slow and gentle movements with stretching. When the body moves with breath, many people experience a sense of harmony and peace.

Qigong is not related to any religion or dogma. It is a simple technique that can be learned by anybody and provides tangible results. Practicing Qigong can significantly reduce hospitalization and reduce our overall health expenditure.

Qigong adopt an integrated mind-body approach towards the maintenance of health and fitness, in a holistic manner. By practicing this integrated system of exercises a person can effectively balance the external stimuli with internal peace and harmony. Therefore one can reap the benefits of living with the demands of modern society, while maintaining a high quality of life.
