Chi Kung literally translates as "energy work". Chi Kung has been practiced in China for thousands of years and is an internal martial art - an internal breathing art. It is a meditative art combining mental focus and physical exercises utilising movement and postures with specialised deep breathing. It is a powerful tool for balancing and revitalising the physical body and clearing and strengthening the mind. Chi Kung is practised to recapture and build up our universal essence - the Chi life force to revitalise the internal organs by balancing the energies in the body. As the internal Chi is raised it attracts and cultivates positive external Chi around us, as a result the whole energetic system and consequently the immune system is revitalised producing strength and a feeling of well-being. A Chi Kung practitioner gradually learns how to cultivate and harness the forces of Heaven and Earth and combine them with their own life essence, energy and human spirit. Benefits of the regular practice of Chi Kung include: Regaining a sense of personal empowerment The Tai Chi and Chi Kung classes will include Chi Kung movements,sequences and breathing techniques, an opportunity to practice and learn the ITC form and structured, guided Meditations.
