Get Healthy With Chinese Qigong

Chapter one: Introduction:

Chi Kung is an ancient Chinese method of using simple stances and, or, movement combined with specific breathing techniques to help the body to regain a natural internal balance. Modern medicine now recognises the need for this internal balance in such things as our immune system and the balance between internal organs. However, the Chinese took the idea of internal balance to far greater areas of healing by discovering that each organ in the body had to either have a negative or positive polarity with reference to each other. They also discovered that certain pairs of organs were inextricably linked in what they called yin and yang pairs. So if for instance the Heart was affected, they would look for an imbalance between the Heart and the Small Intestine as that is a balanced pair. When the balance between those two organs was restored, the patient was well on the way to recovery. They didn’t stop there however; they would then diagnose what other parts of the body were out of balance and also restore that area.

Losing Weight and keeping fit:

In order for the physical body to also be in perfect balance and thereby maintaining an ideal weight for each body type, internal balance is essential. The mind, spirit and body are inextricably linked. So what one does, has a direct effect upon the other. People who are obese are also out of balance in mind and the levels of yin and yang Qi (energy) in the body. So when we get the mind into balance so too does the body wish to be balanced. In this way losing weight comes naturally. All of the correct hormones are produced in harmony and balance to cause the body to lose weight (or gain weight if necessary). The essential hormone HGH (Human Growth Hormone) is produced in a greater quantity naturally, which is one of the best weight loss hormones in the body. And you do not have to take unnatural synthetic HGH which can have a deleterious effect upon the body and mind!

15 minutes every morning and evening will help you to lose weight and get fit and most importantly, healthy. There is a difference between being fit and being healthy. It is much better to be fit and healthy though. Even supreme athletes can die of heart attacks because they were fit but not healthy. So this is also a very important part of Chinese Qigong. It causes your body and mind to be fit AND healthy.
