Qigong knowledge:

Generally, qigong can be divided into two categories: cultivating qi through meditation and practising qi through action. When taoists engage in meditation, they manipulate the qi into the public region, keeping the qi around public region. They wouldn't let qi to run away by the distracting thoughts. When martial artists engage in qigong exercises, they cultivate the qi through physical movement. If he wanna practise the arm muscle, he would manipulate the qi into his arms. If he wanna practise the waist muscle, he woul manipulate the qi into his waist. If he wanna put forth all his strength, he would manipulate the qi into all over his body. Qi is different from breath: Inhale belongs to yang, exhale belongs to yin; Inhale belongs to movement, exhale belongs to stillness. Inhale belongs to hard, exhale belongs to soft. So practising qigong is the integrated process of yin and yang, hard and soft, movement and stillness.

The human bodies are affected by climate change, circumstance change and the social enviroment.

The purpose of practising qigong is to reach a harmonious state of the small cosmos.
