The Way of Qigong
Qigong (ch’i kung, chi gong) is part of China's ancient system of integrative health care (yang sheng 養生）and energy medicine, It consists of exercises and meditations that stimulate the flow of qi, life energy. Kenneth Cohen personally teaches both the theory and practice of Qigong and related arts such as Tai Chi (Taiji Quan) and Chinese tea culture. Qigong has many applications. Designed to restore balance of body, mind, and spirit, it includes exercises for health and vitality as well as“External Qi Healing”, a non-contact energy-field therapy to assess energy, dissolve blockages, and replenish life-force.
Athletes enjoy qigong because it improves strength, stamina, coordination, and other skills necessary for peak performance. As a spiritual art, rooted in Taoism (Daoism), it deepens awareness of self and nature and creates a feeling of harmony, tranquility, and peace. Qigong is a holistic path to well being; hence in modern China is often called yang sheng, “ the art of nurturing life.”
