Qi Gong (pronounce Chee-gong, sometimes written as Chi Kung) is a Chinese practice sometimes known as 'Daoist yoga'. It's an energy stimulation practice working with the principle of 'xing ming shuang xiu' which means spirit and body are equally refined and cultivated. Utilising both stillness and dynamic flowing movements, breath work and visualisation and imagery, it brings qi, life force/prana into the body and allows it to circulate. Movements tend to be slow, circular, repetitive flowing and graceful. Many of the images employed are elemental - fire, wind, water and also drawn from the animal world - cranes, deer, monkeys and tigers all influence certain Qi Gong movement. Qi Gong practices ultimately work towards creating peace-of-mind, greater internal balance and overall vitality.
