Qigong practice

Qigong 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

Gong = practice

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 for physical and mental wellbeing. Become in harmony with nature. 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.

Some of the effects of Qigong practice:

  • Strengthens the bodily health
  • Repairs and regulates the nervous system
  • Stimulates blood circulation
  • Reduce breathing cycles
  • Illness prevention

That all sounds swell but to work effectively with Qi one has to detach from the logical thinking mind. Your thoughts, ideas, your daily life. In that perspective Qigong is a meditation practice. Our practice is based on Zhineng Qigong. If your mind does not calm down it is hard to become aware of Qi during practice. By all means Zhineng Qigong is not the practice of focusing solely on silence and eliminating wandering thoughts. Zhineng Qigong practice is about moving body and mind in a calm meditative state.
