What is Qigong?
Qigong (pronounced chee kung) is a self-healing art that originated in
ancient China. It combines gentle, rhythmic movement,
self-massage, self-acupressure, focused attention, visualization, and
meditation. Qi (also known as ch'i) means "vital energy," and gong
means "skill through practice." So Qigong practice cultivates our vital
life energy to maintain health and bring harmony to body, mind, and
spirit. The movements are soft, easy, and mindful. The practice is
relaxing yet rejuvenating.
Qigong has a rich history, rooted in the Daoist philosophy of flowing in
harmony with the Dao (the Way). The Way of the universe is cyclical,
rather than linear. To follow the Dao is to flow with the natural cycles of
creation and destruction, including life's "ups and downs." Qigong
practice promotes clarity and stillness in our daily life and brings us
back into harmony and utter balance within the rhythms of yin and
yang. Yin signifies stillness, softness, and the downward flow of qi.
Yang signifies movement, strength, and the upward flow of qi.
Through the practice of qigong, we learn to flow with ease through the
constant changes and interactions between yin and yang.
What are the benefits?
Qigong can reduce stress, increase vitality, enhance the immune
system and the body's ability to heal itself, improve cardiovascular and
respiratory function, and balance the lymphatic system. The body's
energy (qi) flows throughout a system of circuits called meridians and
energy centers called dantians. Qigong practice helps to cleanse and
purify the energy and allow it to flow freely to support all our vital life
functions. Qigong promotes physical healing, mental peace and
clarity, and reconnection to your spirit. Through regular Qigong
practice, you become master of your own energy and healing power.
What do I wear?
Qigong is performed mostly standing, so you might want to wear
warm, comfortable clothing. Weather permitting, Lori's home class
will be held outside. Dressing in layers is recommended. You may
practice in socks or bare feet indoors and shoes or bare feet outdoors.

"Qigong has helped me learn what I can and cannot do with my
back. I have tried different venues of exercise but YOU are on
the top of my list. Your class is helping me cope with a very
disabling back. I can't thank you enough." ~MD, Qigong student
"I am very grateful for the amazing blessing your classes,
teaching, and healing sessions are for me. Your healing gifts are
strong and generous. Your classes open my mind and heart and
body to constant healing, increasing my health, my strength, my
acceptance for the gift, for the awareness of energy in, through,
and as me. I see you radiate love to everyone. I am grateful,
happy, honored, and celebrating my good fortune to be your
student". ~LD, Qigong and Reiki student
