Why an Energy Blockage Doesn’t Hurt (Until It Starts to Move)
Does a blockage hurt? Usually not — a blocked place tends to go quiet, not loud. Here is why the discomfort often shows up only once it starts moving again.
If you are new to qigong, you most probably have lots of questions about what is qi and what is qigong. In this section, you’ll find everything you need to know about qi (chi 氣) and qigong (Chi Kung, Qi Gong 气功). We cover qigong basics for beginners. We also have qigong advance if help you deepen the knowledge. Onenergy Qigong is based on Zhineng Qigong’s scientific theory and method, which you will find in our qigong history section.

Can you learn qigong from YouTube? A video can teach you how to open a practice. It cannot see your shoulders climbing, cannot see you holding your breath, and it almost never shows you how to close what you opened.
Qigong is safe, and qigong is sharp — the sharpness is why it works. Five plain rules keep a real, effective practice from becoming a rough one: don’t force, don’t chase sensation, don’t practise exhausted, close what you open, and slow down when something feels wrong.
Anger sent your qi up. A hard day drained it. A walk brought it back down. You have been moving qi your entire life — you just never had a name for it, or a way to do it on purpose.
