You may be asking yourself what is QI GONG?  I was wondering that myself.  So here is some information about the practice.   Remember to always keep an open mind and try new things. The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results!!  Therefore I say, EXPAND YOUR WORLD & TRY SOMETHING NEW!!

QI GONG (aka Medical Tai Chi) is Real Health Care
Dr. Mehmet Oz on Oprah called qigong "the secret to anti-aging." It's the "miracle exercise" for people seeking to avoid drugs, surgery, and expensive doctor bills. Medical Tai Chi, known in China as Qigong, may eventually replace health insurance for many Americans. Qigong ('chee gong', or chi kung) is growing in popularity in the USA as a low-cost, self-care health system. Medical Qigong looks similar to martial Tai Chi, but its slow movements are medically designed to boost the immune system and open acupuncture "chi" channels - without using needles. Qigong is self-applied Chinese medicine, used to heal chronic illness for over 2500 years.



"Medical Qigong is the mother of Tai Chi, but simpler to learn," says Michael Winn, National Qigong Association ex-president. "It's the intelligent man's way to exercise. Qigong is relaxing. Paradoxically, the less effort you make, the more powerful the healing energy it generates.
Dr. Brian Lewis, an integrative medicine expert, notes: "Studies in the United States and in other countries have shown numerous benefits from Qi Gong. If 200 million Chinese rely upon medical qigong for good health - why can't Americans?"
