Medical Qigong with Sifu JC

What is Qigong?

Qigong is the art of developing internal energy particularly for
health and vitality, mind expansion and spiritual cultivation.

Qigong uses body movements, rhythmic breathing, visualizations and healing sounds.

Qigong is a combination of two ideas :

Chi “Qi” (pronounced chee), means air, breath of life, or vital energy that flows through all things in the universe. In other cultures around the world, it is Prana, Aether, Life Force Energy, etc.
Kung “Gong” (pronounced gung, as in lung) means the skill of working with or cultivating, self-discipline, learned skill and achievement.

*Also spelled chi kung, chi gong and chi gung

Pronunciation :
Romanized Chinese “qigong” sounds like [ch’i kung] or chee in the English spelling system, and not like [ki gong]. or key.

The word “Qigong” literally means “breathing exercises,” “to work the vital force,” “energy mastering exercises,” “mastery of the posture, breath, and intention” etc.

Older terms: Xingqi “Aiding the flow of chi/moving chi”. Yang Sheng “Nourishing the forces of life”. Dao Yin “leading and guiding the chi / Harmonizing the body, breath, and mind through moving the limbs and torso. Qigong was coined in 1915, 1929 as a martial ref. and in 1936 as a medical ref.
