More Information About Qigong
Qigong (or ch’i kung) is an internal Chinese meditative practice with over 3000 years of history. This ancient regime uses slow graceful movements, controlled breathing techniques, and meditation. It enhances mindfulness by incorporating the mind along with breathing and body movements to help cultivate and promote the circulation of qi within the human body, thus enhancing a practitioner’s overall health.
