Qigong is essentially the cultivation or mastery of Qi.  There is a three pronged approach in Qi cultivation via Qigong.  The first of which is meditation, and to my mind, this is the most important aspect to Qigong.  Without it…well, I think one is missing the point entirely.  There are numerous ways to engage development of Qi via meditation.  My main focus has to do with the breath.  In combining awareness with one’s breathing it paves the way for creating the state of mind that allows for the building of Qi and the free movement of Qi throughout the body, both of which are vitally important to one’s overall health and well being.  The second prong which ties directly in with meditation is visualization.  There are certain ways of visualizing Qi moving throughout one’s body or collecting in centers throughout the body which help build Qi within.  And lastly, there are physical body movement exercises that also help Qi to flow freely and smoothly throughout the body, breaking up any blocks in the meridians, organs, or energy centers found in the body.

Qi follows thought.  What one thinks, one powers.  If thoughts are scattered and many, little energy actually has a chance to build before the mind is off elsewhere.  Most of us tend to consciously and unconsciously focus on our fears, our doubts, and our insecurities.  These are the plants we spend the majority of our lives watering.  How can one attain any semblance of happiness or peace when fear dominates one’s consciousness?  Qigong is a tool to focus the mind to work with you, not against you.  It’s a tool to create profound change within and without.  I am here to help with techniques and guidance to find your way in uncovering the mastery of Qi within you.
