Chi Kung (qi gong) is an exercise system from China that combines slow, gentle movement - or sometimes even stillness - with calm regular breathing. Although there are many different styles of chi kung, the movements themselves are usually quite easy to learn. The challenge comes from coordinating these with the correct way of breathing. When this is achieved, the body's natural vitality (chi) is circulated far more efficiently than would normally be the case. With daily practice, therefore, chi kung can strengthen the overall state of health and increase resistance to illness.
