Depleted energy levels are often the result of constant, low-level misuse of ourselves. The practice of this internal art simulates the energy meridians of the body to promote well-being. It also retrains how we move, breathe and stand throughout our days. We learn to be more natural and efficient in our actions and breathing. This avoids over-taxing our systems. This continual refinement becomes the art of being well. As we grow more aware of how our actions are affecting us, it gives us power. With awareness, we can consistently make choices to enhance ourselves and stop depleting our energy.

The qigong practice is a systematic approach to strength and weight loss. By re-aligning our actions toward health and wellness, we generally become more active. The big secret that no gym or diet plan wants you to know is that to be strong and maintain a healthy weight, we need to move more. The modern lifestyle is primarily sedentary. By choosing enjoyable small activities throughout the day you’ll actually burn more calories. This is a big deal: maintain a higher metabolism if you work out hard for an hour but sit for most of your day.
