What is Qi Gong?

Qi, also known as Chi, might be translated as “life force”, a combination of physical, electrical and spiritual energy for which the West does not have an equivalent concept. When Qi is strong, it flows freely through the meridian channels of the body, allowing the person to feel healthy and full of energy. When you feel tired, fatigued and worn out by the demands of modern life, we could say your Qi is low. Broken meridian lines (Qi circuits) are experienced as pain, hence acupuncture’s great power of relieve when the circuit is repaired, and Qi once again, is allowed to flow properly.

Qi Gong is a powerful meditation technique that teaches you to revitalise your Qi by cleansing and focusing it properly. Widely practised among martial arts adherents, Qi Gong teaches you awareness of your own life force. It allows you to focus healing energy on any part of your body.

Through breathing and visualisation, Qi Gong teaches you to control and direct your Qi. Mike Lang says that the first step is to clear the mind of clutter and debris. “As long as your mind is cluttered by worries and concerns, you cannot focus Qi. It must first be cleansed,” he says. Most people can learn the basic technique in one series of lessons.

Mike Lang teaches Qi-Gong meditation.

Students learn to become highly aware of their own life energy, or Qi, and how to control it for health. Mike says that everyone can learn how to use that essential energy for health and increased wellness. It is possible to control the functions of the autonomic nervous system, which generally suffers under chronic stress. For example, high blood pressure, a symptom of stress, can be controlled through Qi Gong techniques.

Don’t let stress run your life —learn to manage and control it for the sake of your health.

Most importantly, Mike practices Qi—Gong with every treatment he applies. His heightened awareness of energy provides him with a unique ability to diagnose and treat the broken meridian lines of his patients.

Class schedules will vary, and are scheduled as demand (and Mike’s time) allow. Please call or e-mail for further information.
