Qigong - A Different Perspective
The Chinese characters for qigong are 氣, qi or chi, and 功, gong or kung. (Qigong is used in mainland China, and chi kung in some southeast Asian countries.) The first character 氣, qi, means energy, life energy. The second character 功, gong, means ‘work’; so qigong = energy work.
Qigong (chi kung) is the process of working with energy.
It is a process which integrates posture and intention for the cultivation, circulation, and transformation of qi. Qigong practices have been refined over thousands of years, creating as many as a thousand different styles of qigong. Certainly it is not possible or necessary to learn them all. Simply select a good system that is suitable for yourself, and practice it to the master level.
