QIGONG - a Natural Way for Health and
Longevity
As a science and practice, the ancient
Chinese method of qigong (qi - energy; gong - mastery, ability) has a long
history. The application of qigong in our life leads to health and
longevity, prevention and treatment of different diseases, mental harmony
and invulnerability to stress; brain power and memory enhancement, and
holistic spiritual development.
During the centuries, this method
has been constantly developed both as a single system and as a base of the
traditional Chinese medicine, philosophy, martial arts, and other
practical spheres of the human activities. This ancient method is, at
the same time, very simple and natural; it does not require any special
tools or conditions, which makes it very general and ubiquitous, easy and
convenient for application of people of all ages.
The meaning of
practicing qigong generally consists in that it really helps one to
gradually free oneself of different diseases or to prevent them by means
of activating the natural potential abilities of the body to heal itself;
to accumulate and improve the quality of its vital powers and to
strengthen the immune system; to enhance the functions of the inner organs
of the body and to improve the blood and energy circulation.
Along
with the physiological improvement, the method of qigong strengthens the
nervous system and the mental balance, and helps one becomeinvulnerable to
stress and outside pressure. The brain capacity is increased and the
intellectual abilities of the person are developed.
By practicing
qigong, one can expand his knowledge of the inner connections between man
and Nature, and even more profoundly understand the objective laws of
Nature.
