What is qigong (Chi Kung)?
Qigong (also Chi Kung) means ('life energy cultivation') is a holistic system of coordinating Mind, Posture and Breathing and meditation.
But how? How can one slow, simple exercise do all this? To understand the answer to this question, let us first understand a little bit more about this form of Tai Chi.
The Tai Chi health form is performed slowly and as perfectly as possible whilst trying to relax into the moves as much as you can.
This, of course, takes practise. But, like walking up the stairs or brushing your teeth, it becomes second nature over time.
The more practice you put into repeating the moves the easier they become to remember as your body takes over from your brain.
