Through individual effort, practitioners build up their health and prevent illness by combining discipline of mind, body and the body's “Chi” or "Qi" (vital force).<br> + <br> + This practice includes "regulating the body" through posture, "regulating the mind" through quiet, relaxation and concentration of one's mental activity," regulating the breath", self-massage and movement of the limbs. Chinese Chi Gung has been practiced with a recorded history of over 2,000 years.<br> + <br> + Some divide Chi Gung into "Medical", "Martial", or "Spiritual" categories depending on the purpose of the practice. Within China, qigong is generally practiced in two major categories, "still" and "moving".<br> + <br> + "Still" qigong lays emphasis on quiet, motionless meditation, generally employing methods of internal concentration and regulation of breathing. It is often known as internal qigong.<br> + <br> + "Moving" qigong involves movement of the limbs and body under the conscious direction of the mind, and since the movement is expressed externally, it is also known as external qigong.<br> + <br> + '''See also''':<br> + * [wiki:Wikipedia:Qigong] on Wikipedia<br> + * [http://mindbodyfitness.suite101.com/article.cfm/definition_of_chi_gung Fitness Suite 101]<br> + * [http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/internet/news/archives09/qijong.cfm QiJong and Cancer] from VA University Health System<br> + * [http://www.chigung.com/ ChiGung.com]<br> + </span> </td> </tr> </table> </div>
