Qi means = life force energy and Gong =’to work skillfully with’.
By playing Qi Gong, we purge the qi we don’t want and bring energy to the right places and balance our whole system.
You could describe qi gong as an ancient form of moving meditation. If you know Tai Chi, yoga, or meditation. You will certainly recognize elements. Qi Gong is part of the Chinese Medicine practice, and so it is health orientated, whereas the slow ‘dances’ of its sibling Tai Chi is, by origin, more martial orientated. Tai Chi is great, but learning all the choreography may distract from feeling the beneficial side of the movements. QI gong is easier, so the point where you start to benefit is easy to reach, and it is not difficult to remember what to do.
Compared to yoga, Qi Gong is more flow orientated -although there are of cause many yoga styles – and yoga is more posture and stretching-orientated. Stretching and posture are also important in Qi Gong, but it is part of a whole set of exercises, each with its own merit. Also, there is a focus on why you are doing the movement in that specific way so you understand why you do it in a certain way and what it is you want to balance or help.
And meditation? Well, I had been meditating for a couple of years before I started Qi Gong and recognized the effect of meditation in doing the flows. Still, I also discovered a difference. When I meditate, it is performed by my mind, while my body benefits. While playing qi gong, my mind, emotions, and body are having a good time, which has more effect. I guess because of the influence of movement, which makes things literally flow. By the way, all kinds of meditation are also a part of Qi Gong.
Why do I play Qi Gong?
Playing Qi Gong makes me feel and perform better. It gives me more energy, and it fixes issues I might have.
Over the years, I did a lot of searching and found many helping things, but somehow I never got a clue how to reach where I wanted to be: to act and feel from my core without limitations.
When I started practicing Qi Gong, many pieces of the puzzle suddenly started falling into the right place, finally setting me on the path where I wanted to be.
