This is a powerful mindful movement practice that lowers anxiety and calms the nervous system, helping achieve and maintain inner and outer balance. The movements are ample, circular, gentle and flowing, performed with a wooden ruler. They are simple and easy to follow. 
Qigong, translated as Life Force cultivation is an ancient practice rooted in Chinese culture, tracing back thousands of years to shamanic practices and Daoist philosophy. Qigong is an integral part of Chinese Traditional Medicine; later, it was influenced by Buddhism, particularly Chan (Zen) meditation, which incorporated breath control and mindfulness.
