Introduction:
Qi-gong (or Ch'i kung) is
Chinese forms combining standing,
sitting and moving meditation. Qi means "Moving life-force of
energy," while Gong means "skill of
breath". This marriage art of
gathering and circulating energy
immerses with "Chï" to further
regulate and balance the body's
internal energy.
Standing forms are most
typified in Qigong, yet there are also
many physical forms and styles of
Qigong that it could vary with lots of
movement (Dynamic) or no movement
(Static) positions. Compare to
Tai Chi, It offers more subtle and
quieter styles to motion. Although
Qigong does have some dynamics
attributes, most forms transition with
holding stance positions to find
stillness rather the doingness from a
synchronized choreograph.
Both spirit and
body are inseparable, thus trained
Qi-gong is internally integrated. It
uses soft movement and stances coupled
with controlled breath. These
variations of Chinese systems offer
physical and mental training to reach
meditative states of improving our
Medical, Martial and Spiritual. The
technique of skill with breath work is
the major conduit in linking the
energy awareness to promote the
circulation of Chi within the human
body. Free 8

Style Used:
Through
John Salat's 30 year educational
experience, he practices from a
variety of systems with students. Most
of the class focuses with Medical
self-healing styles for health
preventives, maintenance and
longevity. Being healthy through body
and mind is integrating our well-being
to unify man with nature. All qi-gong
systems can be composed of one or more
types of training, aiming to nourish,
cultivate, balance and increase our
awareness of qi cultivation.
Emphases with "breath
energy," will follow strongly this
attention. Proper utilization with
cycling inhalations and exhalations is
the key while merging our mind with
the movement using the breath. In addition, John Salat
will may combined Sound Resonation,
breath control, and thought intention
to orchestrate movement all at once to
maximize results creating energy
dynamics.
With those in chronic
pain, John Salat will sometimes work
independently with students using Qi 2
point healing touch systems to further
regulate and balance his client's Yin
and Yang energy, bringing it back into
harmony or he may lightly skim to
dredge any external channel of Qi that
will further released the internal
channels themselves which serve as
pathways for Qi transference during
his classes.

energy.
