(pronounced chi kung) Qi Gong is a form of moving meditation. Our bodies are full of energy but, because of the everyday stresses of life the energy becomes blocked inside us.

Best of all, Qi gong exercises are simple, invigorating, effective, relaxing and very easy to learn. (excerpted from "Chi Kung" by Eleanor McKenzie).
