Chi Gong (QiGong) & Tai Chi

are ancient ways of moving your internal energy for health and even new practitioners notice a result immediately. This can be done for the purpose of eliminating toxins, obtaining health and wellness, helping with any illness or pain, maintaining energy, alleviating and eliminating anxiety or negative emotions, and many other positive reasons.

What is Chi?

Chi (or Qi, Ki) is our life force energy. It is the basis of acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to balance and enhance chi to bring for optimal physical and mental health.

This video explains the direct benefits of Chi gong for Weight loss and stress:

Our Chi can be enhanced with positive thoughts, exercise, healthy food, and balanced living. If our Chi is not flowing, it will be reflected in our posture, mood, mental capacity, the way we speak, look and behave. Unbalanced chi causes your emotions to become agitated and distressed. Balanced chi causes your emotions to become smooth and more satisfying. When in balance, chi enhances your creativity at all levels, such as art, business, relationships, etc. Spiritually chi allows us to enter into higher states of consciousness. The practice of Chi Gong helps you to directly experience this in your body and control it at will.

If you have erectile dysfunction due to stress, doing this may allow you to reduce the dose or eliminate drugs to help this.

Moving your internal energy in this way can also be done in my guided meditations seen here in my meditations page.
