What is Qigong?

Qigong has been around for centuries and has many styles and practices; individual treatments are often compared to Reiki. Qigong translates to ‘cultivating life force (or vital energy).’ As the National Qigong Association states, “Qigong can be described as a mind-body-spirit practice that improves one’s mental and physical health by integrating posture, movement, breathing technique, self-massage, sound, and focused intent.”

There are various types of Qigong including clinical healing, internal (neidan), and movement-based (waidan). Benefits of Qigong span across energetic, physical, mental and spiritual layers.

Ancient New Direction uses Qigong as a pathway for deep support and inner peace. Each offering has different benefits you can gain. 1:1 healing provides a treatment specific to your needs at the time, cultivating a rich experience specific to your soul and body. Group classes provide the power of a group field in cultivating inner growth and alchemy on an individual level within the support of a group.
