What is Qigong?

Qigong is a repetitive exercise for the mind and body. This exercise uses the five Chinese elements of wood, earth, water, fire, and metal. It is beneficial for cardiovascular, muscular, and respiratory health. Qi means breath, air, and energy. Gong means work.

By practicing Qigong, you will have better body posture and concentration. Qigong is a combination of meditation and body movement. You can stand up, sit on a chair, or walk while focusing on your breathing while moving your hands in various positions. This exercise also helps with your emotions. Qigong can be practiced in the morning for eight minutes a day.

It is like Tai Chi because of the slow movement and breathing techniques. Except that Tai-Chi is a type of movement meditation. Qigong focuses on meditation and internal thoughts. Both exercises help you relax and focus on your breathing. Here are more resources about Qigong.
