Qi
Gong; An Introduction (page 2)
According to TCM (Traditional
Chinese Medicine), when the flow of Qi is blocked, the conditions for
disease are created.
In order to stay healthy, people need to practice Qi Gong to keep the
Qi flowing smoothly in the body so that each cell gets a constant supply
of vital energy. Once the supply of Qi to the cells becomes blocked,
blood flow to that area will change, 
the
cells and their related organs may start to malfunction, and disease
or pain may occur. Increasing the
strength of the Qi flow to the blocked area will increase the blood flow,
which supports a more efficient delivery of oxygen and healthy healing
nutrients to the affected area.
Qi Gong activates and increases the body’s
innate self-healing ability.
The daily practice of Qi Gong balances the body’s Qi and raises it to a higher level. It stimulates and nourishes the body’s internal organs, making the energetic communication between the organs more efficient, consequently restoring vitality and replacing depleted energy where reserves have been lost through illness or physical or emotional exertion. Qi Gong’s benefits are nothing short of legendary and has proved its efficacy for treating physical ailments such as hypertension, dysfunctional metabolic rate, asthma, multiple sclerosis, anxiety, depression, high or low blood pressure, coronary heart disease, glandular fever, cancer (it reduces the often debilitating effects of radiation and chemotherapy), strengthening the immune system and prolonging life.
Qi Gong practice opens up
a new way to perceive reality and helps one discover a different understanding
of the human body—another
way to see its unique connectedness. It is invigorating and elating to
think about the potential that lies beyond the physical. Qi Gong is one
ancient practice that opens up the gateway to a peaceful mind. Confucius
says: “peacefulness enables a quiet mind to aid the thought process
to produce good results."
