Qi gong and creative healing

QI (tʃiː)— n ( sometimes capital ) (in Oriental medicine, martial arts, etc) vital energy believed to circulate round thebody in currents

Gōng— n work, worker, industry, man­day, good at ones job.

Qigong or Chi Gong, is over 4000 years old. I bring it up because I admire how it was developed.  Years ago a Buddhist monk who knew of yoga, wanted to help his fellow monk feel better…  Thus Qi Gong was born.

I fell in love with the idea that healing is not a static process, but something that evolves. Something that grows by learning from others as well as listening to our intuition.  This makes the process of healing a creative process.

I think everybody is unique.  We all have different needs, get sick for different reasons and recover in different ways.  Qi gong is a wonderful way to center yourself, bring back the energy we lose due to stress, pollution, depressions, noise, bad nutrition, etc.  Of course any kind of exercise is great as it keeps you right in the present, but Qi Gong has this particularity — that it not only  keeps  you focused on doing beautiful movements, but with every movement  you make, you have a feeling of honoring yourself… where you really are the temple, so to speak.  It helps you remember the wholeness of your being.  I think this is why Qi gong has also been called Chinese moving meditation.

I wanted to post it here to let you know that this exist, and like yoga, it is based on positions that will help the energy of your organs and your whole body feel in tune with the universe in a beautiful and peaceful way.

I also wanted to introduce you to the term creative healing, because I believe we should allow ourselves to create health :)
