Chi Kung, translates into "Energy Exercise". It is used in Chinese health practices. The common goal of all Chi Kung systems is to stimulate and balance the internal flow of Chi energy: This vital life force is of central importance in Traditional Chinese Medicine and flows through channels in the body which are called meridians in the West. The unobstructed flow of Chi is a key factor to our health.

A blockage at any major point will lead to an overload of the energy system at another location and consequently to a condition of uneasiness or disease. Such blockages can be caused by a number of factors. Familiar examples are: a mostly sedentary lifestyle, typical to office jobs, which doesn't sufficiently stimulate the energy flow, a bad posture or a high level of muscle tension, often caused by stress.

In China, the knowledge of Chi has been cultivated and refined over thousands of years. This insight and wisdom is being applied since a long time to prevent diseases and premature aging, to heal sicknesses, and in the martial arts.

Nowadays, because of the long history of Chi research and application, there are many different Chi Kung styles and schools. However, all of them share the same goals: to develop inner strength and energy and to open and clear the channels through which the vital Chi force is flowing.

Being proficient in Chi Kung, will fill up your life force daily and prevent health problems before they affect you. The benefits of regular practice are manifold and have a profound effect on all areas of life.

ʘ Successful treatment of chronic illness

Chi Kung workshops
The Chi Kung exercises outlined in these workshops (there are three levels available) will enable you to exert the full capacity of your muscle networks over long periods without exhausting your lungs. In fact, your breathing will become even deeper and slower, generating a generous supply of oxygen to your heart. At the same time, your pulse rate will rise, enabling your heart to carry these high volumes of oxygen to your muscles and internal organs. Even though you will be exercising yourself as never before, you will not be left gasping grotesquely for air. You will be able to exercise without fighting against yourself. Very few other forms of exercise stimulate, cleanse, and massage all the body's internal systems in this way.
