About Qigong
Qigong comes from two Chinese words: Qi (chi) means energy and Gong (kung) means a skill or a practice. Qigong therefore means a skill or practice of cultivating energy. There are various kinds of qigong -- broadly categorized as internal and external. Internal qigong is much like meditation, with visualizations in order to guide the energy. External qigong includes movement accompanying the meditation. Qigong is famous in China for curing chronic disease and promoting health.
