What is Qi

Qi (also spelled "Chi") is the Chinese term for your life energy, your vitality. Your qi energy has a deep soulful quality to it that inspires a profound poetic beauty. Your qi is responsible for your unique warmth of character, your sense of passion, your health, stamina, strength, resilience, protection and ability to assimilate and integrate your experiences. It also is the energy that connects you to the rest of life. 

Qi is the energy that runs through your meridian system, and acupoints, coming in part from the energy you inherit from your parents as well as from the food and air you take in. Qi is the bridge between spirit and matter. It is what holds the mass and matter of everything together and is the source of all change, transformation, and growth. It is the life and movement behind your mind, body, and soul.

​

Your qi is one of 2 other frequencies of energy that have an inseparable relationship with each other. They are known as the 3 treasures, Jing Qi and Shen, and are at the core of Taoist internal alchemy and soul development. The 3 treasures are often compared to the transformation of a candle, from wax, to fire, to light. These 3 energies exist in a state of continuous transformation upward from dense sticky energy of the body, transformed into your vitality, and then further refined into the energy of light at the level of the mind to feed and nourish the light of your spirit.

What is Qigong

Qigong (also spelled Chi Kung/Chi Gong) translates to mean "life energy skill". Qigong is primarily made up of ancient Taoist practices that branches off into both hard-external and soft-internal styles; focusing on martial, medical, health & longevity, and spiritual/alchemical applications. Each school of development offers its own unique approach in activating the innate intelligence within the human being in reaching its full potential. Many of these practices encompass herbology, external exercises, sitting meditation (neigong), breath work, and moving meditative forms, alongside clinical qigong treatment. All these practices work to increase, strengthen, circulate, balance, and refine your internal energy. 

​

A primary goal of qigong practice is integrating body, mind, and energy into a unified whole. It is a practice to cultivate the 3 treasures, awaken the untapped potential in the DNA, and enhance the natural alchemy of your biology to transform matter into spirit. Through consistent practice, your regenerative healing ability becomes vastly heightened causing the degenerative effects of aging to slow or even be reversed. 

 

Qigong practice activates your own healing ability and strengthens your physical body, mind, and energy. It deeply connects you with the abundant energy resources and the natural flow within nature. Consistent practice matures your meridians, clears out the blockages that cause pain and prevent energy flow, while increasing the level of communication and energetic current your body and nervous system can hold. The accumulation and refinement of your qi through qigong practice provides a profound state of health and the energetic elixir needed in developing and expanding your awareness as spirit.
