The Qigong tradition consists of thousands of forms and styles developed over the ages. What you will find in this tradition depends on your interests. Some parts of the tradition are primarily concerned with health and healing from illness. Others will develop extraordinary abilities in martial arts. Other again will open perceptual and creative channels for expression through music, art, literature etc. All these areas of Qigong can lead to a more balanced and harmonious life.
Some also come to Qigong with an interest in spiritual growth, greater personal freedom, power of will and action and extraordinary clarity about others and ourselves. All insight is reflection of our own experience. Therefore Qigong practice is a way to develop and expand our experience. Step by step we can reach places we did not know or did not believe was possible to find. We find our way back to ourselves.
Qigong practice involves training for our inner organs through awakening a healthy energetic charge in each and every cell of the body.

We charge up our inner essence (Jing) and free up a greater rejuvenating flow of vital Qi for solving problems and developing our lives.
Qigong is concerned with concentrating, accumulating and balancing Qi. Sometimes a flow of Qi which is balanced in its qualities of Yin and Yang is mistakenly seen as the ultimate aim of practice. This is too narrow – it relates to a quantitative aspect only. When we want to clean the body, we need to also look at the qualities of Qi that passes through from outer and inner sources.
