気功 (Qigong) is a traditional Chinese practice that combines physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation to promote health and well-being. It is based on the concept of 気 (qi), which refers to the vital energy that flows through the body. Practitioners believe that by cultivating and balancing this energy, they can enhance their physical and mental health. The practice of 気功 can vary widely, with some forms focusing on gentle movements and others on more vigorous exercises. It is often used for stress reduction, improving flexibility, and boosting the immune system. Many people also practice 気功 as a form of meditation to achieve a sense of inner peace and harmony.
