Qigong - healing exercises

Did you know that physicians now agree that over 70% of disease and illness is stress related and preventable?

Welcome to our Qigong (pronounced "chee-gung" and sometimes written as Qi gong, chi gong, or chi kung) web site. We invite you to learn how the simple steps in Qigong exercise moves, related to Tai Chi and Yoga, can be an excellent tool for self-healing and inner harmony. Qigong is a 5,000 year old Chinese healthcare modality - sometimes called 'meditation with movement' that has both endured the test of time and is making a tremendous resurgence at the threshold of the 21st Century.

Millions Practice

Literally millions practice Qigong in China and around the world each day to successfully treat diseases ranging from hypertension to cancer. Outwardly, Wuji Qigong is an exercise and stretching system, focusing on synchronizing the breath with slow movements and guided visualizations. Upon deeper study, the transformative, healing benefits of this personal healthcare practice becomes apparent.

“I think you may be interested in knowing what practicing your Qigong system has done for me. Before I started Qigong I was having real trouble with pain my shoulder. That's completely gone and I've put on muscle mass for the first time in years. Likewise my own Qi and general health has increased significantly. Thank you... obviously I'm now excited about taking one of your Qigong training workshops!” JC - Toronto, CANADA

Qigong - Ancient Chinese Healing for the 21st Century

In "Qigong - Ancient Chinese Healing for the 21st Century," our one-hour video documentary that airs on PBS Television nationwide, we provide a unique look into the world where the elder Masters of this medical Qigong art form dwell. This program is richly narrated by seasoned actor James Shigata, star of "Flower Drum Song" and Disney's "Mulan." Viewers are taken on a journey deep into the Chinese and Tibetan countryside to visit monasteries, temples, schools, and homes of these Masters to watch them perform and teach their Qigong exercise and healing techniques.

With the growing demands of modern healthcare, these Masters are being asked to come into the public light. The reason is because of the tremendous scientific evidence that has been accumulated to show the value of Qigong as a treatment for many chronic diseases that have no cure with Western Medicine. US government organizations and universities are now spending millions on research into this area of medicine. A core message that we hope to share is that through a melding of the East and West--a merging of traditional methodologies and beneficial emerging-technologies--positive solutions will be found to many problems that plague society today. Qigong shows that people can take responsibility for their own healthcare and achieve benefits for their body, mind and spirit.

“Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I have all of your videos and I love them. The setting is beautiful, the music is beautiful and Francisco's voice is very soothing. I love all the moves. At first I thought that I wouldn't be able to learn this but the more I practice the more I am able to achieve. I can't tell you how good I feel after I have completed the tapes. Thank you both so much for sharing Qigong!” HB – Detroit, MI, USA

Movement of Qi

Like all Qigong in this way, the enhanced movement of Qi ('chi' - life-force, bioelectric vitality) is promoted throughout the body as well as the strengthening of Qi for good health and for protecting you from external influences. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which grew out of Qigong, believes blocked and stagnant Qi leads to all pain and disease. Proven useful for healing many diseases, the simple Qigong styles we share in our instructional Qigong videos are suitable for beginners, seniors, or advanced practitioners, with their roots in Tai Chi, ancient wushu swordplay and Kung Fu -- as useful for the healer as it is for the warrior... in all of us.
