What is Qi Gong?

Qigong exercises, for health enhancement, illness prevention and personal growth, have been around for thousands of years, with millions of practitioners around the world… but many people are still unfamiliar with these practices.

Simply put, Qigong is the Chinese equivalent of Yoga, whilst also being unique and different.

‘Qi’ (energy / prana / life force) ‘Gong’ (to cultivate / transform’) is the art and science of harnessing the power of nature, and restoring our natural state of inner harmony, in order to transform our mind, body and Spirit at a fundamental level.

Physical Benefits

Through simple, flowing movements, certain postures and sitting meditations, we bring our mind to a place of stillness, and restore vital energy which is often drained through everyday living and stressful life challenges. Qigong turns on the natural self-healing abilities of the body, allowing the body to heal from a multitude of ailments. 

Mental Health Benefits

On a mental and emotional level, it allows us to return to our natural state of inner harmony, and then live from this calm, relaxed, natural state in our daily lives. This gives us the ability to manage whatever is going on in our personal lives, or the world at large, in a calm and stress-free manner. For example, even in the direst of circumstances (bereavements, personal challenges, natural disasters, world crises) one is able to maintain a state of joy, peacefulness and calm inside.

Spiritual Growth

Yuan Gong is also designed as a system to cultivate the heart consciousness and transform consciousness towards greater levels of self-realization, with an end-goal of what is commonly termed ‘enlightenment’ – the realization of the Self.

Yuan Gong - Holistic Fitness

'Yuan Gong' is the name for the methods and practices of the Ren Xue health and life cultivation system used to self-heal the body, calm the mind and evolve the consciousness. 

Tian Yuan is the first of 9 methods of Yuan Gong. It translates as 'Heavenly' Qigong because its purpose is to reconnect with the Qi of the universe and draw it back into your body for energy renewal and healing. It is quick and easy to learn, and simple to practice. 

You learn to use the mind along with physical movements to facilitate self-healing and revitalization from the inside out.

One of the distinguishing features of Yuan Gong is that it is safe, easy and effective.

What problems can Qigong help with?

Qigong works at a fundamental (Qi) level in the body. For this reason it affects our whole being: body (physical, mind (including emotional state) and spirit.

In particular, on a physical level, people report improvements in headaches, migraines, stiff joints, rheumatism, sore shoulders, sore neck, restricted joint movement, inflexible spine, digestive issues, sore back, stiff knees and more.

On a mental health level, people experience a fast reduction in stress, anxiety, over-thinking, worry, doubt and fear, along with better mental clarity, concentration, and ability to make decisions.

Energetically people report an increase in energy and stamina.
