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.
