What is Qigong?
What is Qigong?
Qigong is a daily practice that incorporates training for the mind, body, and spirit. For us, Qigong is a key to a long, happy and healthy life.
Broadly speaking it is an ‘internal art’ - a path of transformation. From disease to health, from childhood to old age, from holding pain to expressing love, from scarcity to abundance, from low to high vibration, from fear to presence, from weakness to strength, from feeling lost to feeling peace…
Through the training of specific movements, the practice of meditation and connection, and the study of philosophy and spiritual teachings, we give structure and a method to train in these ancient arts so that we can practically apply them in our lives.
BENEFITS:
The Eastern approach to medicine does not separate between the body/mind/spirit. Each affects and determines the other and each is integral if we are to be healthy and strong. Qigong is not just a set of physical exercises, but rather a practice that integrates the elements of controlled movement as well as breathwork and mindfulness. This brings harmony to the '3 treasures' - our physical, energetic, and spiritual aspects - and overall well being to the individual.
