Fundamental: Nowadays, Qi gong is very popular way of exercise to train oneself with mentally as well as physically. It refers to a wide variety of traditional ¡°cultivation¡± practices that involve methods of accumulating, circulating, and working with Qi or energy within the body. However, there are so many different types of Qi gong that it is difficult to choose the right one for you. It is the best to consult with your MD or CAM specialist before you choose the right type. Methodology: Most important thing in Qi Gong is the BREATHING. For example, observe how deep you breathe especially when you play with computer games or internet. Your breathing is from the nose to the throat at best. You need oxygen for everything. If you can breathe in up to the Lungs, it¡¯s better. If you can breathe in up to the lower abdomen, that¡¯s the best. Some of the exercises act as a means of sedating, some as a stimulant and a tonic, whilst others help in the activation, harnessing and cultivation of internal Ch'i energy and the external Li life force. Through the excellent health that is gained thereby, they all assist in the opening up of the whole body, enhance the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, increase the mental capacity of the brain, give greater mind control, increase perception and intuition, uplift moral standards, and give tranquillity to the mind, which in turn confers inner harmony and greater happiness. As time goes by, these exercises slowly open up the functional and control channels that feed and activate the energy, nervous and psychic centers, enabling the individual to have a deeper understanding, consciousness and awareness of the spiritual world. Maybe it sounds little bit out of your norm, it really helps your holistic health. Effectiveness: In most cases, it takes time to feel the effect of Qi gong but once you learn it, you can practice it with very limited time and space. If you can concentrate on your breathing, it is a meditation which will give you peace of mind, relax your body and clear spirit.

It is side effect free, cost free and stress free way of improving your health.
