QiGong is poetry to the soul. It involves using exercises to optimize energy within the body, mind, and spirit, with the goal of improving and maintaining health and well-being. In my video I have chosen a "different style" of qigong choreography to focus on balance and coordination with bamboo sticks.
Qi means “life force,” the energy that powers our body and spirit. Gong is the term meaning work which translates to "skill" cultivated through steady practice. Qi Gong together means a form of movement and mind using intention and mindfulness to guide qi to make qi work.
I work directly with the body's energy combining different ways to express the energy flow away from the traditional styles to a more individual technique of using bamboo sticks or a ball to exercise the whole body. Breathing is the core essence when practicing qigong that you breathe in energy and release the toxins out of your body. The body increases its vitality the longer you practice. You might even notice after 5 minutes that you have more energy and feel more relaxed.
