HOW CAN THE ENERGY OF QI GONG HEAL YOUR BODY?

Going back more than a thousand years, the power of qi gong, and its movements has changed the lives of many. Qi Gong is a complex system of coordinating movement, meditation, and sounds with one purpose in mind: to bring energy to your body and heal you. Because after all Qi Gong means ‘energy cultivation’ In other words, Qi Gong helps the body let go of illnesses, worries, frustrations gathered in our body and mind that ultimately harm us. Another way we can benefit from this form of movement is by practicing before bedtime. Qi Gong helps people sleep better and help them and let them get up more rested. Many Yogis for centuries have practiced Qi Gong to fortify their immune system, de-stress, get rid of anxiety, and lead a more positive life.

THE ENERGY OF QI GONG

Just like yoga, Qi Gong is a way to balance the energy in your body and help it heal both physically and emotionally. Therefore, people who practice Qi Gong believe worries, stress, and other problems in our daily lives diminish the flow of energy, causing us illness, anxiety, and worry. While also being a good relaxation technique, the movements of Qi Gong calm the body and improve wellness.

A LIFE WITHOUT ENERGY

My story with the practice of Qi Gong goes back some time ago. A few years back, I believed I was about to go insane; mainly because I spent too much time reading violent books about serial killers and the Nazis; watching horror movies, and listening to the news. As you know well, nothing good ever comes from watching the news. I was suffering from the worst panic attacks imaginable and lack of energy. At some point in time I wanted to sleep forever.

My first time having panic attacks, I didn’t know what they were and how to stop them. At first, I believed that I was about to have a heart attack; that is how hard my heart was pounding in my chest. It felt like my heart was about to be pulverized into a million pieces. That is when I discovered Qi Gong at the Lohan School of Shaolin in Las Vegas, and since that day Qi Gong has changed my life. To me, Qi Gong is a mix of martial arts and yoga. While most martial arts practitioners take kung-fu, karate, and other practices to fight or defend themselves, Qi Gong is a way to heal the body by bringing and focusing healing energy to all body parts and organs.

HOW NATURAL ENERGY CAN HEAL THE BODY

Practitioners of Qi Gong believe that a force called Qi brings harmony, calmness, and health to your mind and your body when in balance. If this force called Qi is disturbed, the whole body suffers, from body aches to illness, to even depression. Practitioners believe that Qi Gong brings body balance by increasing the flow of energy in you. It aids in harmonizing the soul, clearing the mind, building a better immune system, allowing the body to recover from illness quicker, and calming the mind to get rid of stress and anxiety.

YOGA POSES OF QI GONG

Qi Gong has many moves, yoga poses and motions that stretch joints and muscles, giving them flexibility and releasing tension. These moves create blood flow through the body and nourish all organs and the extremities with oxygen and energy; leaving the body relaxed and rejuvenated. Qi Gong helps you build muscles, strengthens organs, helps joints and bones, releases stress, improves emotional health, and profoundly impacts the immune system. In many hospitals across China, Qi Gong quickens recovery time.

ORIENTAL MEDICINE

Throughout the oriental medicine world, Qi Gong is one of the most fundamental building blocks of a healthy life. In ancient China, people believed that energy is flowing through Qi Gong movements in the body. One can channel this energy and direct it where the body needs healing the most. Chinese physicians believe that together with medication, Qi Gong helps the patient get better quickly. A key ingredient in yoga, as well as Qi Gong, is breathing. Calm and deep breathing bring harmony throughout the body. This clears negative worries from your mind and brings you to a relaxed state of mind.

Whether you practice Qi Gong for healing purposes or to relax after a long day, the power of Qi Gong will help you get in touch with calm and relaxation. In many cases, Qi Gong will heal you and make you feel better; or you can practice Qi Gong to calm your nervous system and relax after a long day. A good way to fight off boredom, you can practice this ancient healing technique any time you wish, whether you only have ten minutes for meditation, or an hour to practice this craft. Whatever path you choose to take, when it comes to Qi Gong, you are in great hands.

Why should someone practice Qi Gong? What are the benefits of this ancient way of movement? One of the main causes of sickness in our body is stress and emotional instability. Whether you have a stressful job or must balance your career and your family, ultimately stress will take a toll on you. Qi Gong has a way of releasing that stress from your body as well as your mind. By practicing on a daily or even a bi-weekly basis, you will see your stress diminish after a few weeks. The breathing and movement techniques of this ancient art will help us alleviate stress and feel good about ourselves.

HOW QI GONG GETS RID OF STRESS

When it comes to mood, look no further than Qi Gong. When we eliminate stress, Qi Gong helps us replace the negative energy with positivity, thus making us more at peace with our surroundings and helping us get through our days. After a few sessions of Qi Gong, the practitioner can slowly eliminate the use of harmful stimulants such as alcohol, caffeine and even drugs. Instead of relying on these poisons, the practice of Qi Gong will help us strengthen our emotional being. Making us more mentally stable and help us through stressful situations without relying on harmful stimulants.

SLEEPING AND HEALING

Qi Gong also impacts our sleeping habits positively. It can help the body transition to a more deep and restful state of sleep. This will help us balance our energy and our sleep cycle. Thus, we can sleep uninterrupted throughout the night and be active throughout the day. After all, who wants to feel always tired throughout the day and be awake throughout the night thinking of everything that you have to do the next day?

Many people who suffered from surgeries and injuries and practice this ancient art of healing will discover that the energy of Qi Gong will indeed heal your body. This is done by activating the body’s potential to heal itself no matter what the ailment is. People who suffer from migraines, back pain and stomach issues have seen their health improve in quite a short time. It is amazing that Qi Gong is an important tool in fighting diseases and overcoming injuries.

QI GONG GETS RID OF PAIN

While we are discussing injuries, it is important to know that Qi Gong helps the body get rid of pain. Pain is very debilitating to our health, leading to suffering and discomfort. It is fueled by negativity. If we find a way to transform that negative energy into a positive one, the pain in our bodies will subside exponentially.

HOW TO GET RID OF NEGATIVE THOUGHTS

Stress, sadness, worry, fear and other negative aspects of daily life usually wreak havoc on our life; our relationships with others, and our immune system. We can fortify our immune system by following some simple Qi Gong exercises; which in turn will relax our nervous system; balance our “fight or flight” response and make us live a happy and joyful life. While it is important to be aware when dangerous situations occur and be prepared to act upon them. If we live in fear all the time our body will lose energy and ultimately shut down. But if we keep calm in stressful situations, not only will our body, mind and spirit thank us; but we will also see everything clearly and know what to do when problems arise.

While Qi Gong does not have any religion or any connection with the spiritual world, and people of every belief can practice this martial art form, Qi Gong – if you choose to – will help you connect to the spiritual world and the universe. Many practitioners, after years and years of constant practice, have seen a spiritual awakening and learned how to be at peace with the world surrounding us. Although Qi Gong doesn’t have a religion, people who practice this form of martial arts have witnessed a spiritual awakening and clarity in every aspect of their lives. By cultivating good energy and getting rid of bad energy, our bodies start healing themselves giving us more power to plow through all the negativity we face in our daily lives.
