What is Qigong? (excerpted from NQA website):
"Qigong (pronounced "chee-gung") is an accessible practice that anyone can learn and benefit from even with casual practice. There are numerous qigong styles...but all are based upon Qi (“subtle breath” or “vital energy”) and Gong (“skill cultivated through regular practice”)...
Qigong promotes a balanced lifestyle to avoid energy depletion. Lifestyle choices that help preserve qi, such as adequate rest, balanced nutrition, moderate physical activities, and stress management are emphasized. Secondly, through tailored practices involving gentle movements, controlled breathwork, and focused intention, the individual cultivates and enhances their qi, refining its flow and enhancing its potency within the body's energy pathways. Finally, qigong teaches practitioners to consciously direct and guide qi within the body. By focusing their intention and using specific movements and breathing techniques, individuals learn to lead qi to areas that may need healing, balance, or revitalization...
These practices are believed to optimize the body's natural healing abilities and contribute to overall well-being when practiced consistently and mindfully."
