What is Qi Gong?

or can be referred to as Chi Kung or Nei Gong


Let's start with the word, in two parts Qi  and Gong.

Qi

According to many ancient teachings, Qi is responsible for all functions, processes, and the life and death of all things we know of in our existence. It is the force that causes the sun to rise and set, the spark that makes our heart beat, its the force that causes a volcano or a cyclone, and the same force that opens a flower. All can be considered the workings of Qi.

It is both constructive and destructive.

Gong

The medical Classic, "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Cannon", teaches us: ‘It is from, calm, indifference, emptiness, and non-desiring that true qi arises. If the spirit is harboured inside, whence can illness arise? When the will is at rest and wishes little, when the heart is at peace and fears nothing when the body labours but does not tire, then qi flows smoothly from these states, each part follows its desires, and the whole gets everything it seeks’
