Funny Chi Kung Question – 1072 words = approx 5 minutes to read… Can qigong be used to overcome emotional, mental and spiritual problems? Or does it just work on the physical? It’s not often that a question makes me do a double take. But this one surely did. I thought everybody knew [...]
Chi Kung Competition This is probably my most favourite post to date. It’s post number 94 on the qigong15 blog. I made my first blog post: Flu Seasons Coming And Some Bug Is Gonna Getcha! on 17th November 2009. So that’s an average of 2.7 posts per week. Not bad. To be honest I thought [...]

And that’s [...]
Chi Kung is not scientific – that’s chi kung lie #5 Well, if you were saying that based on some of the information you’d read on line or in books, I’d have to agree with you. But the simple fact is, is that chi kung is a science and an art. The theory of chi [...]
