“It only took 5,000 years to catch on in the West, but now that it’s gaining momentum, Qigong is here to stay and spreading like wildfire throughout medical and rehabilitation communities alike. Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) consists of gentle movements and various meditations designed to massage internal organs, balance and strengthen the body’s energies, relax the mind and improve the body’s circulation. Qigong techniques ignite the body’s natural wellbeing and healing ability. Qigong (meaning ‘working with’, or ‘moving’ exercises) has been practiced for centuries in China and is based on ancient therapeutic exercises that were developed for health and well-being.” (02/13/08)
