Qigong (pronounced “chee-gong”) is an ancient Chinese practice that combines movement, meditation, and controlled breathing exercises to promote the flow of Qi (life energy) throughout the body. The word “Qi” refers to the vital energy or life force believed to flow through the body, while “gong” means cultivation or skill acquired through practice.
Qigong has a long history in Chinese culture and is considered a form of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It encompasses a wide range of techniques, including gentle movements, standing postures, meditation, visualization, and breathing exercises.
