Why practice Qigong?
Qi, or Chi, is the vital life energy everyone possesses. It connects the mind and the body. When abundant and balanced, leads to health and clarity of mind, when depleted and imbalanced, pain and illness. Thus Qigong is a good supplement to mindfulness practice, which focuses primarily more on the mind. photo source: wikihow

高手
一般人只看到治亂的英雄, 治病的明醫. 其實真正的高手是在亂象病象未發生之前, 已經平定了. 我們要學會欣賞高手, 和做高手. “一年四季春夏秋冬,我們身體及情緒的感覺也有春夏秋冬。 我再講個小事,跟我久了的同學就知道我有一個習慣,他們每天早上先把當天的氣象報告給我。最高多少度,最低多少度,今天是什麼濕度,知道了以後你就曉得穿衣服了。其實你要講養生之道,這些通通要注意。 從陰陽則生,逆之則死,從之則治,逆之則亂,反順為逆是謂內格。”所以你要懂陰陽四時這個法則,自己養生,調養、保養這個身體。如果違反了就會生病,內在出問題了。 是故聖人不治已病治未病,不治已亂治未亂,此之謂也。”這是中國上古的文化,醫道跟政治是一樣的,懂得政治的歷史上大名家,都懂得醫,因為都是醫學道理來的。所以“聖人不治已病治未病”,在沒有病的時候,有一點不對就先吃藥,先把它治好;等到已經生病再治已經晚了。 政治的道理也是一樣,天下大亂,你來平天下,不算有功勞;能夠使國家社會永遠不亂,這才是大政治家。看起來沒有功勞,其實功勞最大。這幾句話是中國文化的精華。” 南懷瑾 —《小言黃帝內經與生命科學》
