Basic Chi Kung, as taught in the Universal Healing Tao system developed by Master Mantak Chia, is an essential entry point into the ancient art of energy cultivation. This practice focuses on harmonizing the body, mind, and breath to enhance vitality, reduce stress, and lay a strong foundation for advanced energy work.
What Is Basic Chi Kung?
Chi Kung, also known as Qigong, translates to “energy cultivation” or “working with life force energy.” It combines gentle, flowing movements, mindful breathing, and mental focus to stimulate and balance your body’s energy pathways, or meridians. In Mantak Chia’s approach, Basic Chi Kung introduces you to fundamental techniques that empower you to become aware of your energy, direct it intentionally, and build your inner vitality.
