| What is Qi and Sheng Zhen Qigong |
|
This practice is a contemporary integration of spiritual healing traditions—using the power of Nature to heal oneself. It is a form of medical Qigong because regular practice provides general and specific benefits for the body, mind, and spirit. Movements are performed from both sitting and standing positions to improve the quality and exchange of Qi. Many incorporate a contemplation or visualization that further enhances the exchange of Qi and adds a quality of meditation to the movement.

In the oriental philosophy, Qi is all around us, in what we see and don’t see. Qi is often called the ‘vital energy’ that is the basis for all life. Qigong is the interchange of Qi between people and the universe. The exchange of Qi creates an energy that brings about health in living beings and in the natural environment. The exchange of Qi is natural but can be improved through conscious practice. Qi is available to everyone!
