A review from one of our students:

“My stress level is down.. I’ve lost nine pounds [in less than 2 months]… I enjoy it!” -Becca, A happy new member of our Qigong and Tai Chi community.

 

 

Discipline the body so that you may know the person. There are two strengths, the strength of the body is easily found but only those who surrender themselves will find the inner strength. It is our aim to train the body to transform thought into action, to be able to react appropriately without thinking is to exercise the inner strength. Indeed there are two kinds of strength. The outer strength is obviuos, everyone has is to varying degrees. To delight in one’s outer strength is foolishness. It fades with age and succumbs to sickness. Then there is the chi of inner strength. Everyone possesses it too, but it is infinite and more difficult to develop. Youth fades, but once acquired, the inner strength lasts through every heat and every cold; through old age and beyond. – Shaolin

The misuse of the human body is the greatest source of all ills.

 

Qigong for beginners:

The first step on any path with studying qigong is health. We use qigong to enhance our immune systems, alleviate many of the most common health issues, increase energy, lose weight and strengthen the body. This practice has been used for thousands of years to create holistic health.

The immune enhancement and stress relief go hand in hand. Modern life loads constant stressors on us which takes it’s toll both physically and mentally. Theses strains build up tension in the body and distort us toward poor health. Qigong is a practice of re-balancing. The breathing exercises trigger a deeply relaxed state in the body. They calm and clear the mind and let us take a healthier perspective on our troubles. After a good healing qigong session we feel much like after a good massage; relaxed and free.

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, breath and stand throughout our days. We learn 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 effecting us it give us power. With awareness we have the ability to consistently makes 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 become generally 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 simply need to move more. The modern lifestyle is largely sedentary. By choosing enjoyable small activities throughout the day you’ll actually burn more calories and, this is the big deal, maintain a higher metabolism then if you workout hard for an hour but sit for most of the rest of your day.

After we develop a foundation of health and energy there is much we can do. Some qigong forms develop strength beyond belief. Other forms harden the body, developing extreme bone density and resistance to injury.

The internal forms give you the skill to adjust your state of mind at will, clarity, calm, precision focus, deep relaxation. These are all state we can access readily if we have been properly trained to do so. This ability can then enhance all of our other pursuits.
