Qi and Qigong
1. Qi Qi ('tchi/chee') is the essence of life, vital force, life energy. |

Our health and wellbeing
To improve our health and wellbeing, we need to work on our Qi, by improving the amount, the flow and the quality. Practicing Qigong with a comprehensive, effective and safe system can help us achieve that goal.
Yet, in order to improve the quantity and quality of Qi that we need to develop ourselves - with the help of REN XUE - we have to understand how our consciousness works, and how to use it wisely.
"...If our Qi level and health have improved to a degree through Qigong practice but we still have unhealthy patterns on the consciousness level - that have not been identified and replaced by more positive ones yet - then our consciousness is still at work, eventually carrying on damaging life, and problems or issues might come back".
2. Qigong
Yuan Gong Qigong, a discipline of REN XUE System, is a high efficiency system that takes just minutes each day and can help to build a healthier and happier life. Yuan Gong exercises are easy to learn, safe & effective.
History of Qigong Qigong has been part of Chinese history for 7000 years, from simple Qigong in ancient times to established Traditional Qigong and Modern Qigong. Thousands of different Qigong systems have been developed throughout this time, such as Daoist Qigong, Confucian Qigong, Buddhist Qigong, Martial Qigong, Medical Qigong, Folk Qigong and many more. |

Qigong contains the essence of traditional Chinese culture and is the basis upon which Traditional Chinese Medicine was developed. It was through the practice of Qigong that the Chinese discovered the channels, points and energy gates of the body (acupuncture) and developed much of the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine. |
Dao & Qi, the focus of Qigong practice, are an inseparable part of Chinese culture -
they are the origin and driving force behind it.
Qigong Practice The essence of Qigong is using the consciousness inwards. The definition in REN XUE: This self-training method uses the consciousness, breathing - Qi & the body (postures and movements) to create continuous positive changes to Qi, leading to improvement of health and the elevation of consciousness. Without a good supply of Qi, Shen and Yi (consciousness), cannot have the clarity and strength to deal with life's common disturbances. |

Qigong practice can include both stillness & movements, with a state of mind that can be achieved anytime, anywhere.
Practicing Qigong can improve the circulation of blood through enhancing the flow of Qi. When the amount of Qi is increased and the flow of Qi and blood improves, health conditions will improve naturally and blockages can be cleared.
Qigong practice is the perfect tool to relax our body, helping us to become calmer and more natural while connecting & unifying the activity of the consciousness with the internal activity of the body. This unification can help deal with the otherwise usually scattered and uncontrolled mind.
Another definition of Qigong in REN XUE: From a holistic view of the universe and human life, Qigong is a practice that can help achieve the purposes of "knowing", "changing", and "elevating" life through training to focus the consciousness inward on the internal activity and life itself, and through work on the Shen level (Source of the consciousness), breathing, body and its applications.
In addition to personal practice, a high level Qigong practitioner can not only feel and influence the flow of Qi in their own body, but can also feel and influence the Qi of others.
"If we look in a general way, Qigong can be seen as a practice of three 'adjustments': physical adjustment, breathing adjustment, consciousness adjustment".
To realize a "gigongized" life, we need to add another element to those three adjustments: cultivating the consciousness. This is the main focus of REN XUE's teachings.
Understanding real changes in life
For real changes to take place, what should we consider:
- Developing an understanding of the laws of life
- Deepening our understanding of Qi with solid (sound) theories
- Learning how our consciousness works/runs our life & taking back control of its activities
- Learning how to stop depleting ourselves & taking care of our physical body
- Developing self-awareness and learning how to be focused, relaxed and natural
- Developing Self-Growth, Realization and Wisdom
- Follow the teaching rather than the teacher -
REN XUE offers us teachings and tools
to navigate our existence and understand the totality of life.
