Qigong is gaining traction as a natural way to achieve healing and balance. Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) is deep-rooted in ancient Chinese medicine. You’ve likely heard of or even seen excellent classes and teams led by your best pal or esteemed teacher who has years of experience. It is a complete system of body posture co-ordination, breath control, and meditation intended to cultivate and balance your life force energy, “Qi”.

What Exactly is Qigong?

Qigong is an ancient practice that dates back thousands of years, which can be described as a mind-body-spirit/breath practice that translates to “energy work or skill”. It combines slow, flowing movements, deep rhythmic breathing, and a calm state of the mind. It’s frequently called “dynamic meditation” and is intended to give the benefits of physical health, mental clarity, and emotional well-being.

Qigong has three primary branches:

• Medical Qigong for healing and health restoration
• Martial Qigong for enhancing strength and stamina
• Spiritual Qigong  for inner peace and enlightenment

In Singapore, people frequently practise Qigong at parks, community centres, and fitness clubs. Group classes and private tuition are also available.

How Does Qigong Heal?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), sickness arises when one’s Qi becomes off-balance or obstructed. Qigong helps to:

• Unblock stagnant energy
• Boost immune function
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Promote better sleep
• Promote the vitality and longevity

The slow, smooth, circular, and flowing movements, in harmony with deep rhythmic breathing, reach the innermost part of the body through the meridians, opening the body’s acupuncture points and thereby the body organs as well, aiding in circulation, and accelerating detoxification and the natural healing process.

Qigong vs. Tai Chi: What’s the Difference?

Gentle movement and breathwork are elements of both Qigong and Tai Chi, but they vary in their focus. Tai Chi can be considered a martial art, featuring a series of movements. In contrast, Qigong takes on a more meditative approach and has simpler and repetitive movements, which are more accessible for beginners.

Can Beginners Do Qigong?

Absolutely. One of Qigong’s virtues is that it’s available to everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. You don’t need any gear and can start with ten to fifteen minutes a day. When you’re a novice, you may wish to attend a Qigong beginner class in Singapore, during which you will be guided through the process of learning how to move energetically, take breaths, and establish correct posture. 

Where to Learn Qigong in Singapore
