Why I have studied, practiced, and taught Qigong for 25 years

As a new session of Wlid goose Qigong classes nears, I am thinking about the "why" behind studying qigong. 

When I ask myself why I study qigong (and yes, we teachers are always and forever students of the form), my first answers include things like "because I feel calmer and more grounded" and "my flexibility and balance have increased over time."

But as I sit with the question longer, I find deeper layers.

Initially, I enjoyed the excitement and challenge of learning something new. There are many aspects to Wild Goose Qigong: warm-ups, meditation, and the form.

And I was impressed by the positive health changes I experienced in a relatively short period of time. 

And then I began to realize that what I was really learning about, on a deeper level, was energy - qi. Both the universal healing energies that we gather during qigong, and my own qi. I was deepening my understanding of and relationship to my energy system. 

This leads me to a deeper understanding of myself and my true nature as both an energetic and physical being .

And this leads me to a deeper connectivity with all beings on this planet, and with the entire energy universe. 

Form - Self - All - Form - Self - All

Study qigong to get more flexible, yes! 
And study to better know yourself, and the world.
