Qigong

Gar Wang will be returning this year for another enjoyable and inspiring weekend of Qigong! 

This ancient Chinese Internal Arts practice consists of gentle, repetitive movements which enhance general well being by developing coordination, limberness and balance. The healing potential of dfferent self-massage techniques as well as meditation will also be discussed as a means to release physical and emotional tension. Ron Gee will demonstrate calligraphy in a discussion of Chinese philosophy on Saturday evening.

• There are many benefits to the practice of Qigong and its practice of
  gentle movements is helpful for  people with limited physical ability
  and compromised health.
• All levels of experience are welcome.

Qigong has been used for generations to enhance health and maintain general well-being. An important aspect of Qigong is meditation which disciplines the mind, enabling one to be more alert yet calm. This greater awareness of how the body naturally functions without the interference of physical and emotion tension is the foundation for the healing potential of Qigong.

Another aspect of Qigong involves self-massage and postures which 'tune-up' different parts of the body, enhance coordination, limberness and balance. Other techniques strengthen the eyes or legs, relieve back pain and arthritis. Several studies have shown that standing Qigong helps to stave off the progressive deterioration caused by osteoporosis.
