How Qi Gong works?
According to TCM, Qi is the dynamic force of all vital functions of the human body. Qi is often called “energy” or “vital energy”. Qi Gong means “training of Qi”. People are born with varying amounts of Qi. The amount depends on your parents health, emotions, and environment conditions during inception. Food is an another way to get Qi. This is why we need to pay special attention what we eat and drink. Our entire body and organs need Qi to function. Qi travels through meridians in our body. When Qi is low, our body is easily affected by environmental conditions. According to TCM, congestion of Qi or Qi blockage causes discomfort or even illness. Practicing Qi Gong exercises, visualization, some breathing techniques can help build Qi and clear blockages in the body. Qi Gong treatment is an another method to build Qi or clear Qi blockages. A Qi Gong treatment or session is performed by Qi Gong Therapist. A Qi Gong treatment can leave you feeling as if you have a new body, a light, flying in the sky, and ready to overcome mountains.
