Qigong is similar to Tai Chi, as it is a soft body-movement exercise.
The movements of Qigong are designed for health and spiritual purposes.

Qigong is easy to learn and can be practiced by anyone.

In addition to soft body-movements, Qigong is also associated with breathing--and the ability to breath deeply.
Through Qigong, the blood is oxygenated and the relaxation response is triggered.
Physical, emotional, mental, psychological, and spiritual healings can be initiated through Qigong.

Furthermore, Qigong enhances the flow of energy in the body, as qigong literally means ''lifeforce-energy skill''.
In many cases, Qigong can be synergized with Alchemical Meditations.
