The word Qigong (pronounced chi kung) is a combination of two ideas: “Qi” means air, breath of life, or vital energy of the body, and “gong” means the skill of working with, or cultivating, self-discipline and achievement.  The art of Qigong consists primarily of meditation, relaxation, physical movement, mind-body integration, and breathing exercises.  Practitioners of Qigong develop an awareness of qi sensations (energy) in their body and use their mind to guide the Qi.  When the practitioners achieve a sufficient skill level (master), they can direct or emit external Qi for the purpose of healing others.
