  • Summary

  • Script: https://tcmpodcast.me/episode-27-the-art-of-qigong/ Chinese secret to preserve youth and health lies in an ancient knowledge inherited from generations ahead and brought to popularity in our time. Exercises aimed to restore and maintain health, slow down aging, and protect against injury, are known as qigong. “Qi” (Chin.气) has numerous translations such as: the life force, the spirit breath, air, or oxygen, while“gong” (Chin.功) translates as: work, skill or accomplishments. We might translate qigong as life energy workout. In recent years many people become interested in qigong. Qigong is practiced by more than 80 million people in P.R. China, and by more than 700,000 in the United States. There is solid evidence that qigong may improve immune function and mental health, and slow down or prevent age-related physical and cognitive decline. There is a long list of movie stars who accepted qigong as a lifestyle changer. Among them, Will Smith, Jet Li, Oprah Winfrey, Robert Duvall, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Mel Gibson, are the most devoted Qigong practitioners. Mehmet Cengiz Öz known professionally as Dr. Oz, exclaimed; If you want to be healthy and live to one hundred, do qigong. Charles Philip III; King of the United Kingdom is the most famous qigong practitioner. Info: www.tcmpodcast.me
