Qigong Health Benefits

Qigong teaches you to use your mind, body, and spirit together to unblock energy and balance Yin and Yang energy in the body, these Qigong health benefits are under appreciated or are not known.

We are formed by two kinds of Qi, Yin and Yang. Yin means something female, passive, and spiritual; Yang means something male, active, and physical. Examples of Yin would be woman, water, and earth.

Examples of Yang would be man, fire, and sky. Yin and Yang energy must be in a good balance. Colds, arthritis, tumors, bruises, etc. are simply the symptoms of the imbalance of Yin and Yang. This imbalance creates energy blockages.

An injury can cause a blockage, once a blockage is formed, energy cannot flow freely in our energy channels. These energy channels run throughout the body to keep it fully functioning and to promote healing.

We have many energy channels in our body. There are twelve main channels and eight reservoir channels. Each channel serves a specific purpose. The main channels carry energy to wherever energy is needed in the body. Extra energy in the main channels flows to the reservoir channels. The body draws on energy in the reservoir channels when the main channels run low.

Blockages in the main and reservoir channels prevent energy from getting to all parts of the body. Body functioning slows down or stops, and we feel sick. If we want to get well, we have to remove those blockages and open channels. This re-balances the Yin and Yang energy.

We can remove blockages and open channels when we use liniments like Dit Da Jow or Iron Palm and or practice Qigong and other exercise. Qigong can be considered as a complementing medicine.

Qigong exercise and Qigong meditation are active and preventative ways to heal the body. Dit Da Jow and Iron Palm liniments are a passive way to heal the body when one is injured.

A perfect healing strategy heals the body physically, mentally, and spiritually. Traditional healing techniques primarily help the body physically. Qigong opens the door for holistic, perfect healing of the body, mind, and spirit. Sicknesses usually start from the Yin energy, the spiritual energy.

As Yin blockages grow, we feel symptoms in the physical body. We call it sickness. The Chinese ancients developed the techniques of Qigong to help unblock Yin energy. Today, western scientists have documented that Qigong can help heal the body more completely with less pain, less stress, and less anxiety.

What is Qigong?

If you are totally unfamiliar with Qigong, a brief explanation is below

Qigong is a study of the energy of the whole universe, which includes physics, chemistry, psychology, biology, astrology, electricity, and medicine. We focus on medical Qigong, the cornerstone of traditional Chinese medicine.

Qigong has been practiced in China for over five thousand years and has been shown effective in the prevention and cure of many diseases. Today tens of millions of people in China practice Qigong because of its great power of healing.

Yet unlike acupuncture, acupressure, herbal medicine, or tai chi, Qigong remains a mystery to most Americans. This ancient discipline combines mental concentration, breathing technique, and body movements to activate and cultivate our “vital energy” as it flows through the invisible channels of the body.

In Chinese medicine and philosophy, “Qi” or “Chi” (pronounced Chee) means air or breath, vital energy, or the Universal Force that forms all animate and inanimate things. “Gong” means work, the function and benefit of this energy, or self- discipline leading to the art of mastery.

We are born with the vital and intelligent energy of Qi. This complex energy substance, fundamental to life itself, is comprised of an informational message and its carrier energy.
