Benefits of Qi Gong (or Qigong) practice include optimizing the delivery of oxygen and nutrition to the tissues, increasing the efficiency of cellular metabolism, altering neurochemistry towards healing, managing pain and mood, reducing heart rate and blood pressure, and facilitating relaxation and mental focus.
Qigong can be done anywhere, anytime. It can be practiced while sitting, standing, moving, not moving, or lying down. It is excellent for stress reduction, prevention of illness, dealing with chronic illness, healthy and active aging, and longevity. In addition to being a fundamental practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qigong is known to Western medical science, research, and clinical therapy as Meditative Movement, a new category of exercise which also includes Tai Chi.
