What Is Qigong?
Qigong is a coordinated system of body movement, breath, and meditation that is used to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The ancient practice harnesses over 5,000 years of knowledge and stems from traditional Eastern philosophy and medicine. By cultivating and balancing ‘qi’ (life energy), deep personal development and attainment of maximum human potential are possible.
There are several types of Qigong within our system. These types embody several forms and exercises that serve specific or general purposes. Each type and form can be used to improve your physical, spiritual, and mental health.
Various Meetings and Workshops will be held during the ASM.
Please indicate your indicative attendance at the following meetings scheduled through the ARA program each day. Catering at the Meeting Room will be provided for those that indicate.
