"Let's talk about some of the benefits of Qigong. What can Qigong do for you? Qigong is, once again, a part of moving energy within our bodies. We know that life is about movement. If something stands still for very long then energy is restricted inside of us. We have meridians inside of our body that if the qi doesn't flow properly throughout the body that is where the belief that sickness and ill health sets in. So, by doing Qigong, we learn to move the body along with moving the energy inside of us so that we can unblock those areas that tend to are slow in qi or end up being blocked by the flow of energy. And, once that energy is blocked, then the sickness is believed to set in. So, by doing movements with our breathing and our connection of the mind, body, and our spirit, we can gain much better health because as we know, in today's society, a lot of us are under a tremendous amount of stress. And, stress is a major factor in illness. It has been proven, many times over, that stress can cause man, many sicknesses.
