Qigong (pronounced "Chee-Gong") is the ancient Chinese art of cultivating Qi (or "Chi").  Similar to Tai Chi, in its slow and graceful movements, it is easier to learn and practice, and is more directly focused on feeling and directing the Qi.

So what is Qi ?  Some 2200 - 4000 years ago, the Chinese developed a theory that all matter - both animate and inanimate, including the air - was alive with a life-force or energy that they called "Qi".  Curiously enough, modern science has proven this ancient, intuitive observation to be true.  When we break down all matter to the sub-atomic level, we find energy. 

  Furthermore, the Chinese, over the millennia, developed methods for the cultivation of internal and external Qi, through deep abdominal breathing techniques, specific movements, and mental focus.  While skeptics might scoff at this idea, I would suggest that the proof is in the pudding.  All you have to do is feel the Qi between your hands, and feel yourself moving the Qi to know that there is something to this art form.  Also there have been many recent scientific studies on the amazing benefits of Qigong, and many medical professionals throughout the world practice and teach Qigong to their patients, including Oprah's Dr. Oz, who called Qigong "The most powerful longevity exercise".

This form of "moving meditation" succeeds in quieting the mind, while energizing the body, and helping you feel more connected to the universe.
