How can Qi Gong enhance your life?
Qi Gong exercises give you a toolbox of practical and easy-to-use techniques to help you to look after your own health on all levels.
Health improvements
Qi Gong is extraordinarily beneficial for health:
- If you are ill it will assist the body to heal naturally
- If you are stiff it will bring flexibility back to your joints
- If you are low in energy it will stop energy being wasted and then build up, store and conserve energy reserves
- If you are stressed and emotional it will bring calmness and peace of mind
On a physical level Qi Gong will help to:
- Purify and tone the major internal organs (heart, lungs, liver, large intestine etc)
- Strengthen tendons and muscles
- Strengthen the 'core'
- Improve flexibility of the spine and joints
- Normalize heart rate and high or low blood pressure
- Improve and expand breathing capacity
- Improve the quality of blood and strengthen bones
- and much more
On a mental / emotional level Qi Gong will help to:
- Calm the mind
- De-stress
- Clear and balance negative emotions
- Improve mental clarity and focus
- Enhance brain power
- and much more
Stress management
Qi Gong exercises:
- relax the mind which in turn relaxes the body
- stop the 'chatterbox' and 'monkey mind' so we can experience a sense of calm inside
- help us to see things clearly and make wise decisions from a calm state
Balance emotions
Many people are not aware that emotional energy is stored in the organs and that negative emotions drain our energy reserves and damage organ Qi. And our internal organs are what are keeping us alive! It is therefore imperative that we learn how to stay balanced emotionally.
Qi Gong exercises work to clear and balance negative emotions such as anger, sadness, fear and worry, whilst growing positive 'virtues' such as joy, compassion and generosity. Regular Qi Gong practice allows one to experience more and more a continuous state of calm inside, so that we are not disrupted by external events. Whilst it does take training, it is possible!
Improve mental performance
Qi Gong exercises use the mind during practice in a very specific way. This focus and concentration automatically improves our clarity, mental focus and brain power.
Illness prevention
Believe it or not, our natural state is to be healthy. Illness comes as a result of not looking after ourselves and going against the 'laws of life' through unhealthy living habits, being emotional and being in a perpetual state of stress.
Qi Gong helps bring the body back to its natural state of good state of health, which is synonymous with (ie, equal to) preventing illness.
Illness recovery
Qi Gong is very effective in stimulating the natural, self-healing response of the body. Regular practice can assist in the recovery of many stubborn complaints and chronic, long-term illnesses.
Anti-ageing benefits
Qi Gong reverses the ageing process in the body, which is why most Qi Gong masters look years younger than their age! Rather than slathering on body products to 'reduce your age', true anti-ageing comes from within through looking after oneself.
