Benefits of Qui Gong
Qi Gong consists of gentle movements and various meditations designed to massage internal organs, balance and strengthen the bodies energies, relax the mind and improve the bodies circulation. Qi Gong techniques encourage the bodies natural well being and healing ability.
Qigong (meaning 'working with', or 'moving' exercises) has been practised for centuries in China and is based on therapeutic exercises that were developed for health and wellbeing.
The therapy comprises many thousands of different breathing exercises, moving and stationary poses, mental techniques and meditation practices designed to promote the flow of 'chi' (energy) in the body, increase vitality and flexibility, promote relaxation and heal disease.
In China, qigong is taught in schools and used in clinics and hospitals. Anyone can practise it for health promotion. It's thought to be particularly beneficial for fatigue, stress and joint problems.
Dunscrofts Qui Gong Group meet every Wednesday at St Edwins Church off Sheep Dip Lane at around 9.15am.
