(Chee-Kung)
This is also known as “Energy Movement”. The practice
of Qigong is done in place and relates more toward internal energy and health.
The history of this art goes back almost 3,000 years. Today some hospitals use
these visualization and exercise techniques to aid patients in recovery. The
movements in Qigong can be modified to fit a wide variety of strength, balance,
and flexibility levels. You can even use a chair! The three fundamental areas
of Qigong:
· Breathing:
Proper
breathing provides the energy needed to break down waste products and toxins,
lowers blood pressure, reduces tension and fatigue, improves memory, improves
sleep quality, just to name a few of the many benefits. · Movement: Qigong is designed through slow movement, to improve the practitioner’s balance / coordination, and muscle tone (especially legs & hips). · Mental Focus: Qigong’s practice of focusing the mind brings the practitioner into an improved mental and physical balance.
