What is Qigong
Qigong is a mind-body practice developed 5000 years ago in China and is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It uses physical movements, breathing exercises and meditation to harmonise the body, mind and spirit.
The Channels
We have in our bodies, a network of energy Channels which traverse our torso, organs, limbs and head like an interconnected road network. It is in these channels that our bodies energy – our Ki-energy travels through.
The cause of disease
It is considered that disease or pain is a result of blockages in the Channels. If these Channels can be cleared and the qi flow harmonised, then good health can entail.
Self-care qigong
Qigong exercises are designed to clear the channels and help move stagnant energy. 10 minutes practice a day is enough to make positive changes to your life.
