What is Chi Gong?
- Chi: The vital energy found in all things.
- Gong: The practice and method to cultivate the Chi.
- In short, Chi Gong, is a method to draw vital energy from the universe by
cultivating mind and body.
-
- Chi Gong refers to an exercise used to improve health and longevity as
well as increase the sense of peace and harmony within oneself and the world
at large. In fact anything you do with the intention of benefiting your
energy can be though of as Chi Gong.
-
- The mind is the presence of intention. The eyes are the focus of
intention. Movement is the action of intention. The breath is the flow of
intention.
-
- Chi Gong is something that anyone can discover within themselves.
For example, watch a child running along an open field.
Notice how deeply he
breathes and how his arms open up to embrace what is before him. Children
have a natural connection with the energy of the universe. Chi Gong teaches
adults the part of themselves that has been forgotten.
-
- The word Chi is used to describe the breath, air, vapor, and the
internal energy that Chinese medicine is so adept at strengthening. Gong
is the work of harnessing it.
