When the body is not aligned, 形不正
The inner power will not come.
When you are not tranquil within, 中不靜
Your mind will not be well ordered.
Align your body, assist the inner power, 正形攝德
Then it will gradually come on its own.
— Neiye 內業
The practice of Qi
Qi Gong 气功 is a holistic practice which works our physical body and our connection to the world beyond. Qi 气 is translated as a form energy and life force, and Gong 功 is the act of cultivating and working with this energy, using a combination of postures, movement, breathing, sound and meditation. Based on the Five Elements principles that is the root of Chinese Metaphysics, Qi Gong benefits not only the physical and mental aspects of ourselves, but also strengthens our connection to the world beyond and opens up a realm of possibilities.
