Ch'i Gong (sometimes spelled Qigong) is an ancient Chinese exercise that comes to us through the Taoist tradition. If practiced diligently and regularly, Ch'i Gong has the power to improve our health, enhance our physical appearance, and promote our general well-being. It is especially celebrated for its ability to improve skin tone and control weight without dieting, but the main purpose of the Ch'i Gong is to increase the production of the vital energy known as Ch'i and to enhance its circulation throughout the body. The circulation of Ch'i in the body is a deeply satisfying and pleasurable experience; therefore, while many exercises, however beneficial, are often a chore, Ch'i Gong is a uniquely enjoyable to perform.
