In addition to stretching, your regular exercise regime, and Dr. Chang's internal exercises, we recommend Qigong and Taiji for health. when classes are available from Harmony Center, the information will be posted on this page.
Qigong, an ancient Chinese wellness cultivating modality for relaxation, healing, strengthening, and balancing, is one of the oldest methods for regaining and maintaining health in Chinese history. It is the precursor of taiji. Qigong cultivates both body and mind and is an ideal art for nurturing life, fitness, longevity, improving ability, storing energy and promoting intelligence. The practice is simple and natural; the theory is profound but easy to understand. Qi in short is energy; gong means cultivation to mastery. So, Qigong is simply practicing to master vital energy for health, healing and enlightenment. Its miraculous healing power has begun to draw more and more interest from the public, physicians and scientists in the United States.
Qigong is an inner discipline that "supercharges" the immune system as it oxygenates the body's cells. It's designed to reduce stress and chronic pain and bring about wellness and inner peace, helping individuals to feel good, perform better, experience higher levels of energy and stamina, and reach optimal health levels. Practice enables you to dissipate diseases, prolong life, preserve complexion, and to stabilize weight.
Qigong includes cultivation of both mind and body. It is a basic and fundamental skill for self-healing, health keeping and intelligence developing. Qigong has been researched in China as a science and has been proven to be effective on just about any ailment including chronic pain and tumors. Regular practice of Qigong promotes an incredible feeling of well being and peacefulness – both of particular importance in today’s high-stress world.
