Qi Gong (sometimes called Chi Kung) and tai Chi often travel closely together. Despite this fact, they are often confused for each other because they both cultivate qi (chi) or life energy. Without going into a full essay on the differences, both provide some health benefits and focus on relaxed movement. But, Tai Chi, if instructed properly, is a martial art and should be taught as such. Tai Chi is not just exercise. While it uses and can cultivate chi it does so in a manner of focus for martial purposes.

Qi Gong is exercise! It is a series of exercises intended solely for relaxation and health. Moving the energy and cultivating it to help attain optimal health. Its movements stimulate the internal organs and the meridians helping to keep the body in balance.

So if you are looking for exercise focusing on health and relaxation, Qi Gong classesare what you are looking for. Join us every Saturday at 9:30am to reduce your stress and get on the road to good health!

Despite the fact that Qi Gong (or Chi Kung) has been around for nearly 4,000 years by some estimations, there is still tremendous mystery and misunderstanding. What is accurate is that scientific measurement and medical trials and research have only in the last few decades even began on the subject, especially here in the U.S.

What is often overlooked as more research is done into qigong and its health benefits, is that at its most base level, there is very little disagreement from eastern or western medical practitioners that this practice can increase range of motion, help induce relaxation, improves blood oxygen saturation which can help boost the immune system among other things, and improves joint flexibility and resilience.

For more information on qigong and recent research, here are a few good links:

I encourage people of all ages to find a good qigong instructor and give a few lessons a try! Our classes are every Saturday at 9:30am. Please join us!

Help for Cancer Patients

Studies show that when patients with “medically diagnosed malignant cancer” were divided into two groups, and all received drugs, the group that practiced Qi Gong showed improvement in strength, appetite, freedom from diarrhea, and weight gain four to nine times greater than the group that did not.
Additionally, a measure of the immune function improved for the Qi Gong group and decreased for the other group. Over sixty studies have focused on the effects of Qi Gong on tumor activity. Emitted qi has been shown to inhibit growth of malignant tumors. In clinical studies, advanced cancer patients who did Qi Gong exercises over two hours per day for three to six months, in combination with their drug therapy, showed significant improvement in their strength, appetite, digestion and immune function.
