Qigong is an ancient Chinese practice, quite related to Taoism and Tai Chi. However, in its own right, it is already a very ancient practice, passed from one generation of masters to the next. Its exact origins are unknown. What is known though is that it is quite shrouded in mysterious rituals, and it is kept a secret for Chinese elite and their initiates only. However, since the modern era, the Qigong exercises became quite known to the rest of the world. Qigong is derived from the Chinese word Qi-a concept meaning energy and power. It is quite a way to make oneself more "powered" in a certain sense. Its practice consists of certain movements, light movements together with breathing exercises. There are many benefits quite testified by many who experienced change due to Qigong practice. These are healing for many kinds of specific ailments, reduction or elimination of pain, promotion of a sense of well being, purifying the whole body, including internal organs, bones, circulation, skin and the muscles, strengthening the nervous and the immune systems, and of course stress managements. There are other advantages, but these are the better known and major ones. The Qi exercises are based upon an ideology of nature. The Qi gong practice claims to draw energy from various natural sources, the earth, the sun, the ocean, the sky and of course the whole universe or cosmos. This sense of cosmic connection is a vital part of the whole Qi gong philosophy. Qi gong is also relevant to the practice of meditation. Meditation involves a certain type of focus in a peaceful environment. A Qi gong meditation can be assisted by meditative sounds. The qi power is said to be enhanced through the qi movements and meditation. Certain principles of qi gong can be quite hard to understand in their original form. However, there is much improvement nowadays. There are many programs that have new improvised versions of qi gong. These qi gong movements are simplified, and therefore, the principles can be quite easier to understand even for people who are not well versed in spiritual traditions. So have a check on these programs. Try one that seems to best fit your needs. The Qi gong practice can also be integrated with other practices of the same nature, such as Tai Chi. These soft forms of martial arts improve the body and at the same time nurture the soul. Irsan's passion is to write on wide varieties of subjects.
