SO QIGONG MEANS THE RIGHT EFFORT TO PRODUCE ENERGY, ENERGY WORKS - THE CULTIVATION OF VITAL ENERGY/LIFE FORCE' SINCE THE WORD "CULTIVATION " HAS A "LONG TEAM' CONNOTATION AND SUGGESTS A CONTINUOUS EFFORT.
Qi gong is a series of exercises- some are consided "soft, "hard" and "static" that were put together by Taoist sages and healers of ancient times and also developed further by the Buddhist monks, nuns and the martial art masters of ancient China. Some of these hermits, sages and monks probably even had some divine intervention because they were so pure, living in such harmony with nature, other creations and with the energy of the universe.
These Qigong exercises involve some gentle ('soft") movements, stronger movements that require more muscular activity ("hard") preferred by martial artists, and the "static" meditative type of exercises, but all have in common, that is that they be done with emphasis on the breath and mind focus.
These exercises were "designed "to unblock and stimulate the acupuncture meridians or channels so that the Qi energy (and blood) can flow smoothly,
unobstructed in the channels to supply the whole body. (In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that the blocked stagnant energy can cause all sorts of diseases. This includes your mental and emotional energy). It also stimulates and restores your own body's self-regulating system.
Chinese medicine recognises stagnation cause by sedentary lifestyle, Enviromental factors, and supressed or exercise emotions as the primary sources of pathogenetic stress and illness. Medical Taoist Qigong provides a self-healing diagnostic tool to deal with the challenges.
The "soft" flexing exercise can be used by elderly, people in hospital, even in wheelchairs, "static "is for mediation, while the "hard "is used by exponents of martial arts such as kung fu.
