Qi Gong (chee-gong) is an ancient discipline that integrates the body and mind and promotes the body’s ability to maintain health and wellness. It combines gentle movements with visualization techniques and breathing exercises designed to increase energy and cognitive function. Studies show other benefits like improved balance and flexibility, lower blood pressure, decreased stress and anxiety to name a few. A recent article published in the Wall Street Journal states that Qi Gong boosts alpha and beta brain waves resulting in the “dual benefit of relaxing, but also sharpening your mind”.
