Qui gong in Reston, VA - an old Chinese health care system - integrates the following in the practice: physical postures, breathing exercises and forced intention. Two Chinese words comprise Qui gong (Chi Kung). Qi is pronounced as chee and is normally translated to mean the life force or vital-energy that flows through all things in the universe. The 2nd word, Gong, means accomplishment, or skill that is cultivated through steady practice. Putting them together, Qi and Gong means cultivating energy. It is a system practiced for health maintenance, healing and improving vitality.

Qui gong practices can be categorized as martial, medical, or spiritual. All styles have these common denominator: they all include a position (whether moving or stationary,) breathing techniques, and mental focus. Qui gong practices also do one or many of the following: circulate and utilize Qi, cleanse and heal the body, or store and release Qi. Practices vary from the soft internal gentle techniques like Tai Chi: to the external, vigorous styles like Kung fu. However, the slow, gentle movements of most Qui gong practices can be easily carried out, even for the physically challenged and can be practiced by all age groups.
