Qigong, which iterally means "practice of vital energy", is an ancient Chinese art of mediation and physical exercise. When it is practiced correctly, it promotes health, mental well-being, and martial arts skills. There are many types of qigong systems. Most qigong systems incorporate breathing techniques, moving exercises, massage techniques, still postures and mental training. Qigong is well-known in China, and now, in the West, for its development of internal energy, promotion of healing, reduction of stress, and extension of life.

The Wuji Qigong is a standing mediation exercise to help practitioners build a strong foundation in qigong theory. Wuji Qigong is the core of taiji qigong and will assist in enhancing one's focus and improving the immune system by gathering the scattered "qi" (internal energy) back to the dantian. It will also help you to know yourself better by helping you find your inner center.
The Hun Yuan Qigong exercises use the external movements to guide the internal energy flow. These exercises emphasize the mixing of the prenatal and postnatal "qi" and the cultivation of the 3 human treasures:
* "jing" - the life essence
* "qi" - the vital energy
* "shen" - the spirit or awareness
The Hun Yuan Qigong exercises will also help bring in the "yang" energy from the heaven above and the "yin" energy from the earth below to combine with the human vital energy. The cultivation of these energies within the body can help students reduce mental stress and tension, and improve concentration and health. The cultivation of "qi" (internal energy), can improve the health and martial abilities of the practitioner.
