Experts agree... “If you want to be healthy and
live to 100, do Qigong.” - Dr.
Mehmet Oz
Qigong, Tai Chi,
Stretching and Intergral Energetics
Qigong (pronounced chee-gung), the practice of
energy cultivation, and Tai Chi (pronounced
tie-chee), the practice of balance and harmony, are ancient
Chinese exercises that promote optimal
health, vitality and longevity. The exercises
greatly reduce stress of
all kinds and gives the practitioner a sense of peace and happiness.
"When you cultivate
balance and harmony within yourself, or in the world -- that
is Tai Chi. When you work and play with the essence and
energy of life, nature and the universe for healing, clarity
and inner peace -- that is Qigong." Roger Jahnke
The 4 components to Qigong, Tai Chi and Integral
Energetics are:
1.
Mindful movements, synchronized with the breath,
gently exercise and stretch the body.
2. Meditation relaxes and
centers the body, mind and spirit.
3.
Self-applied massage of hands, feet, neck, ears and
scalp stimulate acupressure points to improve organ function ,
the
immune
system and energy flow.
4. Deep breathing slows the heart rate and lengthens the
breath to promote the body's natural healing
