About this Event
If you've ever seen people in a park, practicing the slow, flowing, graceful and gentle movements of Tai Chi - then you've seen a particular form of the traditional practice of Qigong.
Qigong (pronounced Chee-GONG) is a practice of aligning body, breath and mind, for health and meditation. Its literal translation is ‘life energy cultivation’. With roots in traditional Chinese medicine, qigong cultivates, balances and nourishes the energy aspect of our being. Qigong helps practitioners still the mind and enter a state of conscious awareness that brings serenity, clarity, and relaxation.
Qigong is easy to learn, and incorporates simple, gentle, intentional movement; mindful breathing; and calm meditative focus. The focus is commonly on visualizing the movement of qi through the body’s energy centers, and balancing qi flow in the meridians and other pathways of the body. As a form of gentle exercise, qigong helps strengthen and stretch the body, enhance balance, increase body fluid movement, and improve awareness of how the body moves through space.
Qigong embraces action and stillness, cultivating mindfulness, concentration, and presence. It empowers practitioners with calm clear energy, strength, and vibrant health – bringing peace to the body, mind, heart and spirit.
