The Chi Kung is an ancient Chinese practice of interior training to achieve balance between body, mind and spirit. Chi means energy in all its manifestations. Kung means training or accomplishment through exercise. The human body is like water: if it does not flow it becomes stagnant. The Chi Kung practitioner learns to consciously draw in the energy flowing within nature and to redirect that flow of energy, through a series of specific postures, breathing exercises, meditation and fluid movement. Qigong developed from various forms of martial arts, mainly Kung Fu. It is likely to have originated from the method of the Five Animals, a series of exercises designed for therapeutic purposes by Hua To, a proficient Chinese physician.
