What is CHI KUNG
|
Chi Kung (or Qi Gong) is a practise based in Daoist philosophy. The basic principle is that we practise being acutely aware of ourselves; our posture; our physical habits; how we breathe and the quality of our feeling, sensation or our Chi; and how and where we hold tension. Then using Chi Kung postures and movements (or forms) we open and strengthen some parts of our bodies, while releasing and allowing other parts of our bodies to become softer and more relaxed.
In terms of our energy (or Chi) we open the whole body for the energy to flow freely. Daoist philosophy has within it the theory of Yin and Yang, which are simply opposites. Unhindered, they will constantly flow into a state of balance (just as in terms of Science, the universe is constantly trying to find a balance). So with Chi Kung, we aim to make ourselves an environment where our energy can do just that. |

The Living Art of CHI KUNG
A New Book by Lizzie Slowe
"THE LIVING ART OF CHI KUNG is an accessible manual, taking the reader through how, what and why to practise CHI KUNG..
CHI KUNG has a remarkable relevance to life today, as do the Taoist principles on which it is based.
CHI KUNG has a remarkable relevance to life today, as do the Taoist principles on which it is based.
The ancient Taoist teachings and practises are made simple and approachable with a combination of unique descriptions, analogies, anecdotes and illustrations. The title of the book encapsulates my intention of taking the ancient Taoist art and making it accessible and relatable, of pointing towards possibilities, rather than being a focused academic text.
I’ve aimed to convey the subtleties of practise and their relevance today, and provide an accessible manual for anyone who’s interested in
CHI KUNG, or even just some body focused awareness."
