Qigong is pronounced Chee Kung. Chi means energy, and gong means cultivation; therefore, Qigong is the art of energy cultivation. Archeological evidence for Qigong in China dates back to 5000 BC. When Qi Gong is practiced regularly with gentle, slow movements, controlled breathing, and intention, healing can occur, and at the very least good health is maintained. Qigong is suitable for all ages and is usually done standing but can be done seated or even lying down. The slow, gentle, physical movements of Qigong combined with the breath and mindfulness can bring the practitioner out of an overactive thinking mind and bring the body into a parasympathetic (relaxed) state where the body’s natural healing mechanism can do its work.
