Chigong (or Qigong)

consists of techniques for dealing with human energy flow. In applying these techniques, one employs the use of the human body's chakras and meridians which are the body's focal points and channels through which it's Qi Energy flows. In the view of Chinese medicine, many illnesses are caused by blockages in these channels. In learning to recognize, utilize, circulate, and direct the internal energy of the human body, an individual can also connect with the energy of the universe and of the earth, and learn to interact with all of nature as a whole. Through use of certain energies and techniques, Qi Gong can relieve pain, strengthen the body's constitution, improve intelligence, and prolong life.
