Chi Gong (usually spelled “Qigong”) is an ancient Chinese practice that combines movement, breathing, and meditation to improve health and balance the body’s energy.

### 🌿 What does the name mean?

  • “Qi” (chi) = life energy or vital force
  • “Gong” = skill or practice

👉 So, Qigong means “cultivating or working with life energy.”

### 🧘‍♂️ What do you do in Qigong?

Qigong exercises are usually:

  • Slow, gentle movements
  • Deep, controlled breathing
  • Focused, calm awareness

This is a standing practice

### 🌟 What is it used for?

People practice Qigong to:

  • Reduce stress and anxiety
  • Improve flexibility and balance
  • Boost energy and circulation
  • Support overall physical and mental health

It’s often compared to Tai Chi, but Qigong is usually simpler and more focused on internal energy rather than martial arts.
