Qigong, also spelled “ch’i kung,” is an ancient Chinese health care system, an art of mindful exercise that integrates physical postures, breathing techniques and focused intention.

The word Qigong is made up of two Chinese words: Qi (pronounced “chee”) which refers to life force or vital energy, and Gong (pronounced “goong”) which means accomplishment or skill cultivated through steady practice. Together, Qi + gong refers to any practice whose intention is to restore, circulate, balance and/or enhance personal life energy.

Qigong Therapy

Qigong practiced by individuals to improve their own health and well-being is known as “internal Qigong.” A practitioner of “external Qigong,” also known as medical Qigong therapy or Qi healing, uses the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to heal others.

In a healthy body, energy circulates freely and abundantly. Deficiencies or blockages in this flow can in time manifest as physiological and psychological problems.

My work as a Qigong Therapist is to determine the relative balance among the five elements in the body, clear blockages, and restore the full, natural flow of Qi. In each session I also teach a Qigong meditation or exercise tailored to an individual’s specific condition so they can continue the work of healing and health maintenance on their own.

I have been practicing Qigong since 1975. My teachers have included Master Jou Tsung Hwa, Dr. Yang Jwing Ming, and Masters Liang Shou Yu, Shi Zheng Zhong, Zhu Tian Cai, and Paul Gallagher. My mentor in Qigong Therapy and Qi Healing is Lisa B. O’Shea, director of the Qigong Institute of Rochester, NY.
