Qi Gong Instructor Training Course

Qi Gong is an exercise that was developed in China over 4000 years ago. It is used as a natural medicine to prevent illness, sickness and disease and used as an ant-aging method. It is a series of slow, methodical movements that incorporates breathing and mindfulness. It is said to be a form of moving meditation. There are many types and different forms of Qi Gong. For Example, the video to the left shows Dr. Kuhn performing what is called "Eight Brocade" Qi Gong. These Qi Gong forms differ in movements, however any Qi Gong form has the same benefits. 

 

Harnessing Your Qi

 

 

                In Chinese thought, Qi, or (phonetically spelled) chi, is the fundamental life energy of the universe. It is invisible but present in air, water, food and sunlight. In the body, Qi is the unseen vital force that sustains life. We are all born with inherited amounts of Qi, and we also get acquired Qi from the food we eat and the air we breathe. In Qi Gong and Tai Chi, the breath is believed to account for the largest quantity of acquired Qi, because the body uses air more than any other substance. The balance of our physical, mental, and emotional levels also affect qi levels in the body.

 

Qi travels through the body along channels called meridians. There are 12 main meridians, corresponding to the 12 principal organs as defined by the traditional Chinese system: the lung, large intestines, stomach, spleen, heart, small intestine, urinary bladder, kidney, liver, gallbladder, pericardium, and the "triple warmer," which represents the entire torso region. Each organ has qi associated with it, and each organ interacts with particular emotions on the mental level.
