Qigong is the art of developing vital energy, particularly for health, vitality and spiritual well-being. Its fundamental objective is to promote harmonious energy flow. The term ‘Qigong’ is Chinese, but the art of energy has been practised by different cultures, especially in the past, when it was kept top secret. The Indians call their energy art “Yoga”, the Japanese “Ki” and the Tibetans “wisdom art”, etc.
The word ‘Gong’ literally means ‘training’. Therefore, the term ‘Qigong’ can be interpreted as meaning ‘training method for enhancing energy’.
