Qigong (Pronounced Chi Kung) often
called the Chinese version of Yoga, Qigong is now recognized
as an effective and entirely natural means of stress
management and quickly improves Concentration,
Clarity of
Mind and Physical Vitality. It also promotes an awareness of
your own potential enhancing your “Inner
Treasures”.
Qigong
Movements are easily learned and consists mainly of a combination
of Breathing,
Posture,
Concentration,
Relaxation and
Gentle
Exercise. Once practiced regularly, Qigong provides a welcome
tonic for all ages, alleviates the ills of time, extends life and
adds the enjoinment of it. Dr Simon Lau is one of the UK’s leading
authorities on Qigong and traditional Chinese healing, having been
invited to address the Cambridge Union on the subject. He has also
been trained to the highest level in Hong Kong and mainland China
but insists on a very personal approach to his teaching.
Qigong is a Self Control
Discipline of a very fundamental kind, it is practised
by one's self and promotes self awareness of one's own
potential. It not only helps to build up bodily reserves of
strength and resistance, and to control and cure disorders,
but also has the ability to promote vitality, rejuvenate the
body and stimulate intelligence. Regarded as part of China's
cultural heritage, Qigong is commonly known as the
'National Treasure'.
Practitioners, who acquired the Art in conjunction with
other techniques of conquering disease, have progressively
refined and technically adapted Qigong over a period of
Four Thousand Years.

Qigong
has strongly influenced the development of
Traditional Chinese Medicine,
whilst, itself, benefiting from the reciprocal effects.
Since the nineties, the body of knowledge has undergone
further refinement and its principles have been extended,
not only in China, but also amongst an ever increasing
worldwide body of experts; Qigong is now becoming a new kind
of 'Science of well-being'.
In the last ten years, Qigong has gained worldwide acclaim
for its general preventative and life prolonging potential.
More recent development has revealed specific benefits of
tremendous consequence: it not only helps to build
Physical Strength, but
also helps to prevent and Cure
many Acute and Chronic Disorders.
Although our bodies are
equipped with an enormous potential for fighting these
disorders, sometimes this facility is weakened and ill
health follows. Many conventional treatments are based
around boosting, suppressing or substituting our natural
defences. Qigong and the Chinese Art of Healing looks to the
cause of our immune weakness,
attributing it to an imbalance in our inner body equilibrium
- the balance between our mental/emotional, physical and
spiritual aspects. By readjusting our equilibrium, our
natural body energy, Qi (Chi), and our normal defences are
allowed to act without the help of synthetically prepared
treatments.
The
benefits of Qigong arise from the
Physical Self Awareness and
Mental Tranquillity which it produces. Qigong
progressively replenishes bodily defences, and enhances
Circulatory and
Respiratory efficiency.
This in turn alleviates many stress related conditions such
as anxiety symptoms, respiratory symptoms, and any number of
other dysfunctions which mutually aggravate each other. The
irritability and general debility associated with such
dysfunctions are frequently coupled with a disposition to
illness. Practise of Qigong quickly produces a new state
from which it can become possible to assert a unified
control over these disparate and warring symptoms.
