WHAT IS Qi GONG and THE 8 PIECES OF SILK BROCADE PRACTICE?

Qi Gong / Chi Kung (pronounced chee-gung)”, is an ancient form of exercise and healing techniques that incorporates mindful movement, meditation, and breathing practices. Qi Gong is generally done standing or adjusted as “sitting or lying down” practices for people in recovery or with impairments.

Qi is life force energy. Qi Gong is the practice of restoring the body through strengthening the natural flow of life force energy.

The 8 Pieces of Silk Brocade also known as Ba Duan Jin is a set of focused, gentle Qi Gong movements dating back nearly 1000 years to the Song Dynasty in China.

As the name suggests there are eight Qi Gong movements and is considered by many to be a form of Medical Qi Gong.

Each of the 8 Pieces of Silk Brocade movements places an emphasis on healing certain areas related to the physical and energetic body, bringing healing of specific organs and their related acupuncture meridians.
