What Is Qi Gong? 

The translation of Qi Gong is ‘energy work’. Qi Gong is an Asian kind of yoga that has been around for thousands of years. Most of it is performed while standing. Although there are a number of seated sets also. There are hundreds of systems of Qi Gong that have come from a variety of lineages and most of them focus on different fields. Most are health orientated, while a separate group comes through the martial arts lineages. These systems act to harness willpower, to focus and to help practitioners channel their energy through their palms.  

There are many systems from the temples and monasteries that are more focused around spiritual cultivation and depth of meditation. Some involve moving while others are visualisation based. Nearly all of them involve specialised breathing, which is coordinated with the activity at hand. The guiding principle of all these practices is the coordination of the eyes with the body movements, the focus of the mind and the breath, especially for the moving practices.
