Qi Gong is a movement practice that is based on the same principles and philosophy as acupuncture and Chinese medicine - which makes it uniquely suited to complement acupuncture treatments.
Qi Gong is an exploration and practice of energy which can be too conceptual and broad to experience put into body movement. Qi Gong makes a philosophical idea into tangible and real to your own body experience. Qi Gong has its own styles and tradition by practitioner. Highly recommend to experience this practice.
In Chinese medicine, digestion goes beyond just the organs involved; it embodies a holistic process that influences our overall well-being. Central to this process are the Spleen and Stomach, which work together seamlessly. The Stomach acts as the gateway, receiving food, breaking it down, and forwarding it to the Spleen. The Spleen then transforms this food into vital nutrients, supporting the body's energy and vitality. Think of them as a team—each plays a crucial role in ensuring our nourishment is properly absorbed. Chinese medicine also views the Small and Large Intestines as essential for eliminating waste, maintaining harmony within the body’s systems. Interestingly, while Western medicine recognizes these organs, Chinese medicine assigns them slightly different functions, emphasizing their role in overall balance.
