Qigong meaning – What is Qigong

Τhe importance of Qigong

“Practicing Qigong creates inner peace,
a healthy and energized body and a calm mind,
able to deal with daily stress and illness.”

Chinese folk wisdom saying

What is the meaning of Qigong?

Qigong comes from the Daoist tradition and means translated
energy work, energy maintenance or energy exercise.

What is Qigong?

It is a combination of slow movements,
conscious breathing and a pleasant presence in the body.

Qigong is an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
These millennia-old meditative exercises
are intended to increase life energy (Qi) and
lead to the harmonization of body, mind and soul.

In a state of relaxation and connected to the external Qi sources
the entire body is gently moved and brought into its inner order.
The mind comes to rest.
So one feels more and more the free flow of life energy.

Qigong and the immune system

“If healthy Qi is stored within us, no pathogen can make us sick.”

This is one of the most important statements in Chinese medicine.

According to the Wikipedia, “… a pathogen is (…) any organism that can produce disease.“

 

Qigong can have a positive effect on:

Immunodeficiency   Defensive weakness
Muscle tension
Stress
Back pain
Arthritis, joint problems
Sleep disorders
Exhaustion
Stress-related disorders such as headache, irritable stomach, irritable bowel syndrome
High blood pressure
Circulatory problems
Depression
Menopausal symptoms
Maintain health in old age
Accompanying cancer therapy

The goal of practicing qigong

is a flexible, agile body, healthy body functions,
inner peace and serenity and a calm mind.
Reaching old age is a pleasant side effect of this.

It doesn’t matter what shape we are in at the moment.
We start exercising and we improve our body functions.

The effects on the spiritual level

In these times of an ever increasing isolation and separation from nature,
Qigong can have a very beneficial effect on the soul.

Practitioners feel part of nature, part of the big picture.
This connection to nature and the knowledge that everything is changing,
can give us strength, trust, security and confidence.
