China has several ancient forms of meditation, many of which are still practiced today in China and across the world.
Qigong is a word with several layers of meaning. The Chinese written characters for Qigong mean ‘breath’ or ‘to work the breath’. It can also be translated as ‘energy’ or ‘life force’.
When you are practicing Qigong, you are learning the ‘skill of breathing’. Like Tai Chi, the practice combines gentle movement and controlled breathing.
This meditation is led by Grandmaster Gary Khor from the Australian Academy of Tai Chi.
