Qi Gong is made up of 2 words, Qi and Gong. Qi refers to the life force energy that sustains our body. Gong refers to effort. Together it refers to practices that help to encourage and balance the life force energy within our body.

There are 4 main category of Qi Gong. Health, martial, medical and esoteric. The qi gong that most people practice in a park would probably be health qi gong, whereas something like taichi or bagua would be martial qi gong. Medical qi gong is used mainly for healing and esoteric qi gong is for spiritual progress.

With regular practice, qi gong helps to bring more vitality, balance and strength into our body. This leads to a both better physical and mental health.
