What is Qigong?

Pronounced “Chi Gong,” it was developed in China thousands of years ago as part of traditional Chinese medicine. It involves using exercises to optimise energy within the body, mind, and spirit,
with the goal of improving and maintaining health and well-being. Qigong has both psychological and physical components and involves the regulation of the mind, breath, and body’s movement and posture.

Qigong is a gentle system of breathing exercises, body postures and movements, promoting mental well-being, concentration, maintaining good health and enhancing the flow of vital energy. It involves very simple repetitive exercises, so it is suitable for everyone. It can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, improve mood, increase energy, reduce symptoms of chronic fatigue and enhance immune function.

Beth yw Qigong?

Wedi’i ynganu’n “Chi Gong,” fe’i datblygwyd yn Tsieina filoedd o flynyddoedd yn ôl fel rhan o feddyginiaeth Tsieineaidd draddodiadol. Mae’n cynnwys defnyddio ymarferion i wneud y gorau o egni
o fewn y corff, meddwl ac ysbryd, gyda’r nod o wella a chynnal iechyd a lles. Mae gan Qigong gydrannau seicolegol a chorfforol ac mae’;n cynnwys rheoleiddio’r meddwl, yr anadl, a symudiad ac osgo’r corff.

Mae Qigong yn system ysgafn o ymarferion anadlu, ystum corff a symudiadau, hyrwyddo lles meddwl, canolbwyntio, cynnal iechyd da a gwella llif egni hanfodol. Mae’n cynnwys ymarferion
ailadroddus syml iawn, felly mae’n addas i bawb. Gall leihau symptomau iselder a phryder, gwella hwyliau, cynyddu egni, lleihau symptomau blinder cronig a gwella swyddogaeth imiwnedd.
