How to Pronounce Qigong (And the Two Sounds That Trip Everyone Up)
How to pronounce qigong: the two sounds — chee, falling, and gong, flat and high — that almost everyone gets wrong, and why.
Qigong for health covers Qigong for physical body health and mental health. From Qi and Qigong’s perspective, we see the body and mind as inseparable, and both belong to physical existence. Therefore, your body health issues, for instance, cancers, tumours, diabetes, skin problem, stomach and kidney problems, and headaches, are associated with mental health issues such as stress, depression, anxiety, and so on.
Qigong is not to treat diseases per se. It can balance your whole system of body, mind, and spirit to achieve holistic health so that the diseases which are the results of imbalance cannot exist. Qigong practice includes Qigong exercises and Qigong meditation.

What to do when emotions come up during qigong: four plain steps — keep moving, keep breathing, don’t chase it, finish and close — plus why a held group field makes it easier.
Can emotions be stored in the body? Not as objects waiting to be found — as qi that never finished moving. A non-clinical look at the child who lets go and the man who does not.
Why do you feel unsettled after qigong, hours after the practice ended? Usually it is not the emotion that moved — it is stopping mid-practice instead of closing properly.
Why do I feel empty after crying instead of calm? A plain, non-medical explanation of 悲则气消 — grief scatters the qi away, and empty is not the same thing as peace.
Should you let yourself cry it out during qigong, or hold it back? Neither. The qi mechanism behind grief explains why pouring it all out spends what your practice just built.
