CHI KUNG
(Chee Gung)
Exercise combines
specific postures and movements with imagination and special breathing
techniques, to improve the immune system and minimize the effects of aging.
Movements are done slowly, as one would have to do in water. Also known as Qigong,
the movements need
minimum space, strength and are easily modified to benefit chair and hospital
bed users. "Chi or Qi"
are Chinese
words for life force energy and "kung or gong" are Chinese for exercise to improve
balance, quality, quantity and movement of qi. Low impact postures,
calm, deep breathing and gentle movements create more energy for your
lifestyle.
Medical Doctors who specialize in Qigong, prescribe and successfully
treat problems serious as cancer. Build Energy - Calm and Focus the
Mind. Improve Balance, Comfort and Flexibility. Tone and Strengthen
Muscles. Have fun minimizing effects of aging. Modifications
are included as needed. Qigong Gentle Exercise, by Sifu Sue Michaelsen
