Ongoing research studies have shown Qi gong to be very effective in improving balance, flexibility, cardiorespiratory function, immune function and lowering blood pressure. It is growing in popularity as a wellness tool, especially for the elderly.
The unique style of Taoist Light Qi gong is especially appealing to those who don’t want to learn a long series of prescribed movements, as it allows the body to access the healing energy – or chi, through five simple but specific postures and phrases, which activate the chi to move through the body where and as it is needed to clear blocked or stagnated energies, and restore balance. The spontaneous movement often expresses as universal patterns that can be interpreted for deeper understanding.
