Chinese Qi Gong (also referred to as Qigong, Chi Kung, or Ki Gong) is an ancient art of balancing and strengthening one’s life force practiced by millions in China for thousands of years. "Qi" means life force energy and "Gong" means work.

Qi Gong can be practiced by anyone who is willing to learn and practice. If you have an illness, Qi Gong can help you to fight your disease and get well. If you have no sickness, Qi Gong can enhance the overall well being of your body by strengthening your immune system.

In ancient time, the days of the Emperors, Qi Gong was used to serve the Royal Family. After 1949, Qi Gong was better mastered by the general public and has been used as a preventative and self-healing method.

In China, Qi Gong is being taught in medical colleges and research centers. Large hospitals have Qi Gong research departments conducting research clinically. The public can request Qi Gong healing treatments (external Qi transmission) in large hospitals across China. You can see thousands of people practicing Qi Gong and Tai Chi together. Practicing Qi Gong and Tai Chi are very common in the Chinese community.
