What Is Qigong? A Complete Guide to the Practice of Cultivating Qi
What is qigong? The complete, no-mysticism guide to the ancient Chinese practice of cultivating qi — what it is, where it comes from, how it works, and how to begin.
Qigong is well known for its phenomenal healing effects. Modern scientific qigong is especially famous for its healing miracles. People diagnosed with critical illnesses lost their faith in western medical treatment but found hope in qigong treatment.
However, qigong is not for all diseases and illnesses. Qigong can work on curing self-made or self-help illnesses. Besides those infectious diseases and surgical diseases, almost all other diseases and illnesses are self-made or self-help, which means that the root of the disease is within. If one creates their own disease, one can cure themselves from within. Qigong and meditation practice gives people methods to heal themselves. That is how qigong healing works.

Most people walk into a yoga studio wanting health, energy, and a long vital life. That is not what the practice was built to deliver. Here is which tradition actually aims at health as its target — not its side effect.
