Qigong (Chi Kung ) For Health

Ranked #7,237 in Healthy Living, #126,972 overall

Qigong (Chi Kung )is a powerful and enjoyable way to enhance health, vitality, awareness, and athletic performance.

The word Qigong (pronounced chi kung) is a combination of two ideas: "Qi" means air, breath of life, or vital energy of the body, and "gong" means the skill of working with, or cultivating, self-discipline and achievement. The art of Qigong consists primarily of meditation, relaxation, physical movement, mind-body integration, and breathing exercises. Practitioners of Qigong develop an awareness of qi sensations (energy) in their body and use their mind to guide the Qi. When the practitioners achieve a sufficient skill level (master), they can direct or emit external Qi for the purpose of healing others.

For thousands of years, millions of people have benefited from Qigong practices and believed that improving the function of Qi maintains health and heals disease. In traditional Chinese medicine, good health is a result of a free flowing, well-balanced energy system. It is believed that regular practice of Qigong helps to cleanse the body of toxins, restore energy, reduce stress and anxiety, and help individuals maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. Although there is not yet an instrument that can measure the strength of Qi and that we may not fully know what Qi is physically, research has shown that external Qi of a Qigong master could produce significant structural changes in water and aqueous solutions, alter the phase behavior of dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline (DPPC) liposomes, and enable the growth of Fab protein crystals (Yan et al. 1999). It has been said that Qigong is one of the most powerful healing traditions ever developed in human history. It is literally a health wonder of the world.

Breathing Is The Foundation Of Health

Taught for centuries by QiGong Masters of China

The secret to better health is something you are doing right now: breathing. But are you breathing effectively? Many centuries ago, the qigong masters of China taught that the practice of breathing is the foundation of health and awareness. On The Beginner's Guide to Healthy Breathing, Ken Cohen teaches listeners how to instantly breather healing qi (life force) energy into the body every minute of the day. Complete program demonstrates how to increase oxygen flow, stimulate the vital organs, and create a relaxing calm throughout the entire body.

Author and qigong master Ken Cohen opens his program by discussing healthy breathing and giving the listener a chance to assess his/her breathing habits. He then discusses the three stages of natural breathing: abdominal respiration, dan tian breathing, and embryonic respiration. Cohen's program includes four exercises: breathing while lying down, expelling unhealthy air, reversed breathing, and exploring other kinds of breathing.

Yes, I recommend it!

Pedro_Morales says:

Absolutely positive. I had high blood pressure for almost 20 years. Even going to the gym, practicing martial arts and jogging three times a week did not cured me. I still had to take pills(natural ones). after going to a chi kung healing master for two months, the HBP was gone. Now 125-84, no pills.
