Qigong was originated in China. It is an ancient healing technique which can also be written as Chi-kung and pronounced as chee-gung.
The “Qi” in Qigong means “air” or “breathe”. The practitioners of Qigong believe that “Qi” is spread through everything in the universe. The Greek word “pneuma”, the Sanskrit word “prana” or the word “bioelectricity” of Western medical conception are corresponds to it.
The meaning of Gong in Qigong is “work” or “effort.” This resembles the commitment to a skill, which requires patience, repetition and time to perfect by an individual.
To increase longevity, prevent disease and to promote self-healing, the individual will aim to develop their ability to control their “Qi,” through study.
The different types of Qigong practices
Wai Dan and Nei Dan are the two types of Qigong practice. The physical movement and concentration come under Wai Dan and visualization, and sitting meditation comes under Nei Dan.
Beginners have to learn to coordinate their physical movements with their breathing techniques, as mentioned in the traditional Qigong. They have to perfect each posture with the help of practice sets of an exercise before going to the next posture. After perfecting postures, the next step is finding the delicate flow of energy in the postures. This process is known as moving meditation.
The postures that are somewhat similar to yoga postures and are held for a long period of time are called still meditation. The practice of still meditation helps to improve energetic flow in the body and helps to strengthen the limbs.
To become more familiar and enlighten the mind, soul, body, and breath, is what sitting meditation focuses on.
Visualization helps in guiding the energy through your body more easily, but it is not necessary to visualize while performing any type of Qigong Healing.
With the use of these practices in combined form; Qigong Healing promotes efforts to boost your immune system, relieve stress and pain, improve digestion and health, etc.
