Meridian Qi Gong – Master Aihan Kuhn
Gather Your Qi
I’ve recently been hearing a lot About Qigong (pronounced chee-GONG). I’ve heard it referenced in connection with exercise, relaxation and balance. Since these are subjects that I’m always interested in, and thinking that it was the new “thing”, I started doing some research on what Qigong is.
As it turns out, Qigong isn’t new at all. Qigong is just the current name for the Taoist breathing exercises that date back nearly 5,000 years. Tai Chi, which I’ve heard of many times, is just one of the 3,000 forms of qigong.
Definition of Qigong
Qi refers to the energy of the universe. Gong means to gather with skill. Putting them together, Qigong means to gather energy from the universe with practiced skill. Using breathing, slow rhythmic movement and mental images, qi is gathered, brought into the body and moved through the meridians of the body. The results calm the mind, energize the body and help to create a sense of balance. The mind, body and spirit all work together.
The concept of moving qi through the body may actually have originated as far back as 6000 years ago in India. However, it is believed that Qigong was developed in China around 4000 years ago. It was primarily used for health and religion purposes before its introduction into martial arts.
Qigong is traditionally used to balance the yin and yang. The Chinese believe that disease and illness are the direct cause of the imbalance between yin and yang. Therefore, Qigong is the natural method to optimize the body’s latent energy and guard against illness.
The Benefits Of Qigong are numerous. Using the lower stomach while breathing stimulates the lymph system, which in turn detoxifies and oxygenates the body. The breathing and mental imagery shift our nervous system and reduce stress. The gentle movements lubricate the joints and increase flexibility. Qigong has been said to alleviate arthritis and chronic fatigue, improve metabolism and increase circulation. The lists go on and on.

Dragon and Tiger Medical Qigong (Paperback) $39.95 Practiced by millions in China to release stress and maintain robust health, Dragon and Tiger qigong is also used to help prevent and heal cancer and to mitigate the effects of radiation and chemotherapy. Frantzis chose Dragon and Tiger from among several hundred sets he researched because its seven simple movements are easy to learn and offer about 80 percent of the health benefits found in the more complex sets of 50–100 movements.Dragon and Tiger qigong uses simple body movements to accomplish the same chi balancing as acupuncture. Each movement is designed to stimulate not just a single meridian but groups of meridians. In Chinese medicine, the tiger is a metaphor for a strong, healthy liver and powerful muscles, and the dragon is a metaphor for healthy and strong lungs. The Dragon and Tiger form accomplishes three major changes in the body necessary for healing: it releases stagnant chi energy; increases the speed, strength, and evenness of the circulation of chi, blood, and other fluids; and quickly raises the body’s energy levels to boost its natural healing capacities. With over 150 illustrations accompanying clear, thorough instructions, Dragon and Tiger Medical Qigong offers an accessible and effective path to health and healing. |
