This complete energy science teaches you how to conscientiously use your mind in order to breathe more fully from all parts of your body, while performing specific postures and movements. Qigong practice helps restore positive clean energy back into the body's center, by transforming stagnant energies and purging these negative energies out, leaving the whole body lighter and more vibrant.

Qigong training is deeply rooted in Chinese medicine, which based on philosophy and principles of the ancient Taoist. They believed that most diseases and illnesses plagueing human beings are primarily caused by unnatural living and the improper use of one’s Chi (life-force / bioelectric energy / breath energy). For millennia, qigong practices have been safely and reliably used by millions of people to help prevent energy imbalances and maintain one's health and vitality.

Regularly exercising in open-air parks, getting enough rest, eating locally sourced fresh whole living foods, maintaining a positive attitude, having fewer thoughts in one's mind, eliminating toxic relationships and instead cultivating quality friendships, can greatly help to prevent illness and disease. Making these simple lifestyle changes in conjunction with qigong practice promotes a higher quality of life and is the foundation for true happiness.

If an individual becomes imbalanced from living an unnatural lifestyle, qigong practice can help “reset” their energy fields and prevent further damage. This is primarily accomplished by strengthening one’s “Yi” ("mind-intention," pronounced “eee”) through qigong’s deep abdominal breathing methods, where a fuller breath can be achieved by moving your whole belly area more so than your chest area, when inhaling and exhaling.

Five to ten minutes of qigong practice is sufficient to switch a mind that is in a "hyper-state," due to over stimulation, poor stress management and excessive living, to a mind that is more relaxed open and stress free. Additionally, if this relaxed state of mind is maintained for 20-30 minutes on a daily basis, this will greatly boost the immune system to defend against disease, leaving one feeling more calm, balanced and full of energy.

Because qigong practice is a holistic type of training, its a safe and reliable source of energy rejuvenation. It allows one to pursue one's life goals with more vigor and stamina, giving individuals a greater capacity to deal with the modern challenges of daily living.
