Qi Gong - Breathing Techniques, Gentle Movement, And Meditation

Qi Gong uses mindfulness exercises and meditation. Helping posture, focus, muscle tone, stamina, wellbeing and more. First developed in China 5000 yrs ago.

The origins of the practices in Qi Gong predate recorded history.
Qigong practice puts the body into the relaxation and regeneration state (the relaxation response) where the autonomic nervous system is predominately in the parasympathetic mode. Slow, deep, diaphragmatic breathing combined with movement and mindfulness strengthens the efficiency of the immune and lymphatic systems by facilitating efficient and balanced movement of body fluids. Benefits of Qigong practice include optimizing the delivery of oxygen and nutrition to the tissues, increasing the efficiency of cellular metabolism, altering neurochemistry towards healing, managing pain and mood, reducing heart rate and blood pressure, and facilitating relaxation and mental focus.
