Qigong
|
|
These are sitting and standing exercises which gently encourage joint mobility while developing a stron body/mind integrity. Qigong was developed by Chinese Ancients whoe interest in health and longevity led them to study such long-lived animals as the elephant, tiger and snake. After years of observatiobn they combined their kinetic impressions with meditative practices.
Learn about Chi, vital life energy, through stretching and self-massage techniques. Exercises focus on the entrainment of the musculoskeletal and endocrine systems with your understanding of Chi and its relation to meridians. This could strengthen your immune system and prevent disease from taking root. The anearobic aspect helps you feel calm because your heart rests while exercising. This is an excellent way to develop subtle energy used in bodywork and is a great way to revitalize yourself between heavy workouts.
