Chi Gung
Chi Gung, which literally means "energy work" in
Chinese, is the practice of learning to control the movement
of the life energy internally, using only the mind to direct
energy
in the body. Physical movement may be used, but is not required.
According to Eastern thinking, vital energy (can be spelled
as chi, ki or qi) flows continuously throughout the human
body. The existence of this flow is the fundamental basis
of Eastern medicine, acupuncture, martial arts and meditation.
Through this paradigm, the cause of poor health and disease
can be seen as a blocked, irregular or discontinuous flow,
described in Eastern medicine as an imbalance in the system.
This imbalance has two origins: physical injury or degradation,
or mental tension, which often leads to poor life habits and
subsequent destruction of the body.
From a healing perspective Chi Gung is very special as it
can be used by anybody with
any level of physical health as it starts from inside and
works out and is infinitely flexible. Chronic fatigue sufferers
who tire instantly on standing can start to strengthen themselves
while lying down. At the other end of the scale, athletes
find their focus, attitude and endurance can benefit from
Chi Gung. It also helps maintain vigour when recovering from
injury. Chi Gung is not magic and it is not always easy, but
it is a fascinating and powerful tool which can bring remarkable
improvements to peoples lives. It is also liberating and enjoyable;
there is no end to it, so it always has new things in store
for us.
