Chapter 57 Qigong
OVERVIEW.
Qigong is a Chinese form of physical training and method of harnessing energy for mental and physical well-being. The approach involves slow, controlled movements, static postures, postural awareness, relaxation, visualization, and breath and mental control.1 Energy that normally flows through energy channels (meridians) is thought to be blocked and result in physical and emotional problems. By harmonizing the mind, the nervous system (autonomic) is believed to function more efficiently.1
