How Qigong Works
Qigong teaches you to use your mind, body, and spirit together to unblock energy and balance yin and yang energy in the body.
We are formed by two kinds of Qi—yin and yang. Yin represents something female, passive, and spiritual; yang represents something male, active, and physical. Examples of yin are woman, water, earth, and spiritual life. Examples of yang are man, fire, sky, and the physical body.

Yin and yang energy must be in a good balance. Too much of one will cause an imbalance, creating an energy blockage. When a blockage forms, we feel symptoms in the physical body. We call
it sickness. Colds, arthritis, and tumors are simply the symptoms of the imbalance of yin and yang.

Blockages prevent energy from flowing freely in our energy channels. These energy channels run throughout the body to keep it fully functioning. We have many energy channels in our body. There are twelve main channels and eight reservoir channels. Each channel serves a specific purpose. The main channels carry energy to wherever it is needed in the body. Extra energy in the main channels flows to the reservoir channels. The body draws on energy in the reservoir channels when the main channels run low.

Removing Blockages
Blockages in the main and reservoir channels prevent energy from getting to all parts of the body that need energy. Body functioning slows down or stops, and we feel sick. To get well,
we have to remove those blockages and open channels. This rebalances the yin and yang energy. We remove blockages and open channels when we take medicine and/or practice Qigong and other exercise. Qigong is an active and preventive way to heal the body. Medicine is a passive way to heal the body. Both approaches play an important role, but Qigong can potentially heal the body more effectively and perfectly.

A perfect healing heals the body physically, mentally, and spiritually. Traditional healing techniques primarily help the body physically. Qigong opens the door for holistic, perfect healing of the body, mind, and spirit.
