Qi is energy, the very essence of existence. Gong means work, practice, and constant cultivation. Therefore, Qigong can be defined as working with energy.
Qigong is a discipline based on exercises aimed at mobilizing, regulating, and refining energy across the different layers that make up our being, in relationship and connection with nature. It is thus a tool for healing and self-knowledge, whose purpose is to harmonize body, mind, and spirit.
