Qi Gong is one of China's main contributions to improving the quality of life and health. It is the basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine and of the very popular "TaiJi" or "Tai-Chi".

Qi Gong has evolved through thousands of years of study and research by China's highest evolved sages and wise men.

Although recorded to be much older in much Chinese formal documentation, the oldest written reference appears in the form of inscriptions on 3000 years old bronze objects.

It studies the primal interrelation between the human being and the Qi, and the way these two affect each other.

There are many different styles of QiGong, most of them consist of practicing mental exercises and specific healing stances and body movements that strengthen and balance the body as they open and feed the meridians through which the Qi flows. Some other QiGong styles use breathing exercises, herbs and sounds.

With the proper instruction, the practitioner can reach deep levels of conscious contact with the Universe and the restoration/fortification of the healthy flow of energy in the mind and the body.

With certain differences in form which gave birth to the many different QiGong styles throughout the millennia, QiGong was used by all kind of sages. It became the basic practice through which monks and priests from all traditions and schools of thought were able to achieve a healthy body, a clear mind and a wise spirit. No matter their tradition or religion, practice of QiGong gave them the energy support to achieve the highest purposes of human development.

Although based upon the cultivation of Love, Respect and Truth, the real QiGong has nothing to do with religion or belief, it has to do with physics.

For thousands of years the QiGong knowledge was kept secret; available only to a few priests and monks, but today we have the blessing and responsibility of living a historical moment of openness in every sense; QiGong is now being shared with the general public,
mainly as a tool that efficiently helps in the physical healing process because that is the area in which it's results can be more easily measured.
