Qigong

Qigong  is a mind-body exercise form that uses meditation, breathing, and  movement to increase energy and enable the body to heal itself. The  exercise and healing techniques used were developed in ancient China and  Tibet.

Qigong  is a combination of "Qi" (life-force, bioenergy, creativity,  consciousness, breath, function) and "gong" (cultivation or practice  over time). It is a self-initiated health and wellness practice  consisting of a combination of repeated movements, stretching,  meditation, and breathing.  Through the practice of Qigong the flow of  energy in the body is restored and one becomes more aware of our own  life force energy, or chi.

It is practiced for a variety of reasons and has countless health-related benefits.   For  most, the main benefits of qigong come from the relief or prevention it  provides for a multitude of chronic health issues such as chronic  fatigue, fibromyalgia,  and concerns like diabetes, poor circulation,  and back pain.
