Seven daily qigong power exercises

Your qi (or energy flow) is linked to your circulation. When you stimulate your blood flow or move your lymphatic fluid, your qi is also stimulated. Everything flows together. The channels in which qi flows are called meridians. According to Chinese medicine, the quality and movement of qi through the body determines your health. The ideal state is one of smooth flow with no imbalances or blockages, which are called stagnation or stagnant qi. If you have continued stagnation, whether physical, emotional or spiritual, Chinese medicine say this will eventually manifest as disease. Getting your circulation moving every day is a great and simple way to boost flagging energy, release stored tension, stimulate lymphatic drainage and boost immunity.
