Qigong is a leading method of healing and energy medicine that was founded in China. It is an art and science that utilizes breathing, gentle movements, and creative visualization to allow the Qi to flow in the body which results to detoxification and regeneration.

There are four key areas of Qigong concentration namely Spiritual Qigong (Fo Gong, Tao Gong), Sports Qigong (Wu Gong), Healing Qigong (Yi Gong), and External Qi Healing (Wai Qi Zhi Liao).

The Spiritual branch of learning was adapted from the practice of Taoism and Buddhism. It enhances self awareness and gives a sense of serenity and harmony with nature.

Qigong can also be utilized in sports and martial arts because Qi exercises enhance coordination, speed, flexibility, balance as well as resistance to injury. It also enhances strength and stamina.

Qigong healing on the other hand, provides an efficient way of preventing and treating diseases such as high blood pressure and even cancer. It also alleviates pain and reduces frustration and anxiety as well. Moreover, Qigong helps in managing the body’s reactions to stress by generating chemicals that induce relaxation and reinforce constructive thinking thus making a person healthier.

In contrast to the therapeutic touch in western medicine, External Qi Healing involves a sophisticated manner of health assessment through the use of gentle touch or non-contact treatment. This touch can bring the client’s Qi to balance and restore wellbeing. To boost the effectiveness of the remedy, it is a must that a healer undergoes a systematic training. Furthermore, he must be qualified to maintain his health so that the chance of transferring unhealthy Qi will be avoided.
