Mimi Kuo-Deemer, MA, is the author of Qigong and the Tai Chi Axis: Nourishing Practices for Body, Mind and Spirit and Xiu Yang: The Ancient Chinese Art of Self-Cultivation. She teaches meditation, qigong, internal martial arts (6th generation lineage holder in Baguazhang) and Daoist Flow yoga. Born in the United States, she lived in China for 14 years before settling in the British countryside with her husband and their dog, three cats, 8 chickens and 60,000 bees.

“Nature’s capacity for homeostasis and balance is also qigong’s model for health. Excess and deficiency cause imbalance. Think of a garden. When there’s the right balance of sunlight, water, and good soil, plants not only grow, they thrive. When there is a lack or excess of sunlight or water, plants struggle. We are the same. To thrive, we need balance. Qigong offers that.”

What is Qigong?

Qigong is medical in that it is one of the five pillars of Chinese medicine, the others being acupuncture, massage, herbs and Feng Shui. It’s martial in that every martial artist will do qigong as their foundation for health and energy. It’s spiritual in that it has roots in China’s Daoist and Buddhist traditions. In Daoism, the cultivation of qi through movement practices like qigong was part of the path to harmony with the natural world and Oneness with Dao.
