Qi (chi) is an energy that can be used to bring the body to a quiet and relaxed state. With practice, the mind soon follows. This energy, a part of the universe, is a life force rather than simple energy. The qigong state is a meditative state where the mind calms, the body relaxes, the energy channels flow within you and the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies heal and improve our well-being.

New science is now coming out that the mind, body and spirit are one. We cannot heal just parts and expect to heal the whole. Traditional Chinese Medicine has known this for thousands of years. Bringing in qi and removing blockages brings us back to a wholeness that allows the many healing modalities within these pages to help us heal.

There is an energy system within our being that is striving to keep us in optimal health. Blockages slow this healing from taking place. Practicing qigong can help us take back control and be an active role in our health. Remove the blocks with qi and help yourself to heal.
