Have you heard of Qigong? Well, for those of you who haven’t, according to National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, “Qigong, pronounced ‘chi gong’ was developed in China thousands of years ago as part of traditional Chinese medicine. It involves using exercises to optimize energy within the body, mind, and spirit, with the goal of improving and maintaining health and well-being. Qigong has both psychological and physical components and involves the regulation of the mind, breath, and body’s movement and posture.”
I started doing Qigong 1 or 2 months ago and I swear by it. It’s so nice to have use gentle techniques to improve my physical and mental well being. I like the idea of using breathwork and slow movement to help me be present and mindful. Especially now that I’m working full time. One more thing I have to add is that the person who leads the class does a great job. He uses guidance but allows everyone in the class to find their own way.
Have you tried Qigong? If you haven’t would you?
