Qigong at the Park

Qigong is a millennial mind-body-soul practice from China that improves emotional, mental, and physical health by integrating postures (inner & outer), flowing movements, breathing techniques, self-massage, sounds, and focused intent. "Qi," literally meaning "vital energy," and "gong," which translates to "the skill of working with," collectively form "Qigong," representing the cultivation of life-force energy.

Qi is intrinsic to the human body, and the functions of the human body are sustained by Qi. Qi flows in our body like rivers and streams creating an intricate energetic network. Factors such as our immediate environment, lifestyle, stress, neglect of bodily signals, and suppressed emotions can disrupt this flow. These imbalances or blockages often manifest as discomfort, pain, and physical or mental ailments.

At Mindful Essence, we believe each one of us has an innate healing capacity and to tap into it, we just need the right activation. Healing involves re-balancing Qi flow, which in turn facilitates the regulation of physical and mental functions, creating optimal health and equilibrium.

The healing power of Qigong can be harnessed through self-practice of Qigong. Self-practice of Qigong is accessible and straightforward, requiring no complex sequences to remember or specific expertise.

Qigong activates our inherent healing potential, catalyzing the transformation of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual life toward a harmonious state of well-being.
