Qigong Types

QIGONG TYPES
Qigong originated in China and has now spread all over the world. Some practices tend to retain their original guidance. Others have been combined with local cultures and practices, and have evolved into new forms. This is why there are many different forms of Qigong in the world today. New forms of Qigong-like practice are being announced quite often.
All Qigong forms are based on one or some combination of five main roots: Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism, Martial Art, and Chinese Medicine. No matter what a Qigong practice is called, it is grounded in the guiding principles of the five main roots. Although practices can be widely different, the highest principle is always the same - ‘Be Natural’.
In the Qigong field, there are two kind of practices: Qigong treatment by Qigong masters and healers, and Qigong self-healing.
To be a Qigong master or healer, one should be a Qigong practitioner with a vast accumulation of experience and increased Gong level. Most Qigong practitioners of this level will have some ability to help others to heal by performing Qigong treatments.
This e-book focuses on learning to self-heal. To me, the most reliable way to have and keep good health is to be in control of yourself, instead of relying on treatment by others. If you are interested in treating others, you have to help yourself first in order to be able to help others.
