What is Qigong?
From Gary McCabe's website, www.relaxrenew.com:
Qigong exercises are generally performed with relaxation and focus (in some instances, tension is consciously used for a specific purpose). The mindful movements of Qigong gently stretch the body and sinew channels to promote a balanced flow of qi. Proper practice also develops the resilience, whole body connectivity and flexibility of the fascial/connective tissue system. Qigong practicing can be more yin or nourishing, or more yang and energizing. Once you understand what you need for balance, you can use the appropriate type of Qigong to attain that. Scientific studies in China have shown that Qigong can catalyze increased blood flow right down to the capillary level. Practitioners know that consistent Qigong practice can build harmonious energy and a deep sense of centeredness.
