Qigong with Sandra

Qi (chee) = Breath; life force; energy; air.

Gong (koong) = To cultivate; practice.

Qigong = The practice of energy cultivation over time.

A practice for the whole being, qigong is an ancient Chinese science and healing art rooted in the Daoist philosophy (following the ways of nature). The practice includes meditation, breath work, qi self-massage, dao yoga stretching, and flowing, standing movements — a wonderful experience of moving with the breath, visualization, and connecting with sources of energy from within and without.

Quantum physics is just beginning to understand what qigong practitioners have known and experienced for more than 4,000 years — we are and surrounded by energy. Qi is life and can change our life.

Qigong is simple, relaxing and peaceful, and at times very light and fun, but also extremely powerful and transforming. Through posture, movement, breath and intention, qigong cultivates true physical, mental and spiritual health so you can live your best life.

Gentle, but powerful, qigong is a beautiful practice that is accessible and beneficial for anyone or any age or health status. Qigong is a practice that involves and benefits the whole being.
While qigong is ancient, with a history of 5,000 years or more, it is an extremely valuable practice for the modern person. A regular practice will, over time, result in a more relaxed, peaceful, strong, energized, and balanced person. Through qi self-massage, meditation, breath and energy work, dao yogic stretching, and standing (or sitting) qigong flows, the practitioner influences the physical, energetic, and spiritual bodies.
Working with posture, movement, breath and focused intention, qigong is incredibly transforming on all levels of being. Organs, bones, muscles, connective tissue, body systems, meridians, energy centers, emotions — nothing is left out. The practice is held in the wonderful and practical philosophy of nature, calling on the wisdom of the seasons, the Five Elements, animals, colours, and the emotions and virtues of the body’s organs, to guide the way to a more balanced, healthy life.
