What Is Qigong?

Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) is literally translated as "life energy cultivation" or "mastery of your energy". This ancient exercise stems from China thousands of years ago.

Qigong is also known as a healing technique that involves moving meditation, coordinating slow-flowing movement, deep rhythmic breathing, and a calm meditative state of mind.

Often, people choose Qigong as an effective method for exercise, relaxation, preventive medicine, self-healing, meditation, self-cultivation, and martial arts training.

What Is the Difference Between Yoga and Qigong?

Although Yoga and Qigong might look similar, and both are very ancient practices, they are not the same.

While both practices require the incorporation of breath and mind, Yoga focuses more on physical postures or asanas whereas Qigong focuses on light physical movements. Those two practices both involve movements, yet Qigong movements are usually slower and more gentle than that of Yoga. Plus, most Qigong exercise helps improve your balance whereas not every Asana in Yoga includes a balance element.

We can’t tell which one is better, but if you are not that athletic for yoga, or you want to address a certain medical issue, Qigong is a wise choice.

How Qigong Benefits Us?

Practicing Qigong enhances your well-being by:

• Boosts the functioning of all the internal organs and immune systems.
• Reduces depression and relieves stress.
• Increases the supply and flow of energy and blood throughout the body.
• Lessens chronic fatigue and better sleep and more.

 

The longer you practice Qigong, the better health you can achieve.

Can Everyone Practice Qigong?

Yes, but it can be dangerous if you start practicing Qigong without any proper guidance. Some exercises such as Microcosmic orbit can turn out to be a threat if you do not practice correctly.
