Chi Kung / Qi Gong
Chi Kung (Qi Gong) is an exercise system from China that combines slow, gentle movement - or sometimes even stillness - with calm regular breathing.
Although there are many different styles of chi kung, the movements themselves are often quite easy to learn. The challenge comes from co-ordinating these with the correct way of breathing. When this is achieved, the body's natural vitality - the Qi (or chi) - is circulated far more efficiently than would normally be the case. With daily practice, therefore, chi kung can strengthen the overall state of health and increase resistance to illness.
