Qigong practice

Qigong practice is about acceptance, non-duality, the power of relaxation, unity with all-encompassing, softness, openess, discovery of true self in the greater perspective

Wherever you stand in life, Qigong can be supportive. A helping hand.

Qi = lifeforce(life energy)

Gong = practice

To put this in perspective of daily life Qigong helps to maintain balance. Balance between the outer world and our inner world. We tend to live our lives with an outward focus for the things that we do in our daily lives like work, daily routines, make plans, socialize with others. This makes life enjoyable and there is nothing wrong with that. But in Qigong we try to find the balance between that outer world and the inner world. We do this because life can be (very) energy consuming. And when it comes to running out of energy it often leads to physical or/and mental conditions. Our bodies and mind are a world too and need to be nourished with fresh new energy(Qi). So with qigong practice we take time to focus and give care and attention to that inner world. And harmonize it with the outer world. The nature, people, universe or whatever the environment is that surrounds you.

To practice wih Qi is to first calm down. Stand still and observe. Look inside and realize that body and mind is Qi. Just like the world around you. As far as the universe. Then you start to practice with the intention that everything is Qi

Qigong is an old treasure from ancient China to practice physical and mental wellbeing. Become in harmony with nature. Discover your own true nature.

You discover the self healing potential of body and mind by practicing Qigong. This can be as simple as not feeling well before practice and feeling completely different afterwards.
