The simplest way to define Qigong using Western concepts is to consider it to be the study and development of vitality in one's body. Most Eastern cultures long ago ascribed all those qualities of life that they saw as vital to one substance, a life-giving, dynamic material that was wondrously responsive to coherent intention. The Chinese call this substance qi, pronounced "chee." When one studies something to gain skill
"The night after my session I went home and checked my blood pressure and it had gone down 40 points."
"I want to keep coming to you because I haven't found anything else that's as affective and comprehensive as this."
"When you began, I just immediately felt so warm on the left side of my body, and pretty soon I just felt so safe and at peace that my mind blanked and I rested, truly rested."
in it, the Chinese call it "gong," and this word also functions as a noun to describe the quality or level of skill that has been achieved. One might say that your qigong is good, in which case they might be saying that your level of skill in employing your qi or vitality is impressive. Thus, qigong is at once the accumulated knowledge in China that helps people to develop skill in enhancing their vitality through the manipulation of qi by intention, and also the very ability they develop when they've studied it.
