Qigong is circulation; the term “blood fl ow” is synonymous with “moving Qi”. Many studies confi rm practicing Qigong reduces drug withdrawal in heroin addicts by 50 percent. Studies also reveal that Qigong boosts the immune system and is benefi cial for those fi ghting cancer. Dr. Oz was quoted as saying that if you want to live to be 100, do Qigong. These techniques originated over 3000 years ago by mountain wanderers, people who were highly activated by Qi.
DC: I practice Yoga a few times a week and fi nd the methods of Qigong to be quite different. Can you tell us how Qigong is different from Yoga or other healing therapies like Acupuncture?
Up Close
and Personal Interview Founder and Visionary
with Jeff Primack, of Supreme Science Qigong
Deanna Cook: I had no clue of really what Qigong was prior to this interview, but now after watching you train instructors for a week, researching your testimonies, and trying some of your smoothies, I think it’s very important for people to know exactly what Qigong is. So, let me begin by asking you what is “Qigong” really all about?
Jeff Primack: Qigong is the art of harnessing Qi which directly affects the blood fl ow and is an exercise that makes your blood pulse. This pulsing occurs by moving Qi using specifi c breathing techniques along with postures and slow, graceful movements. Qigong also encompasses using healing foods, herbs, acupressure, yogic stretches, all of which energize the body, increase vitality and accelerate metabolism.
JP: Good question. Qigong is different from Yoga primarily because it requires slower, more graceful movements to harness our electromagnetic fi eld. Some Qigong exercises build muscle or speed, but most are a pulsation of Qi through the body. Qigong is the “sensation of energy” and is highly tangible. A few advanced systems of yoga, like Kriya Yoga, have striking similarities to Qigong in that they move energy directly. However, compared to most systems of Yoga, Qigong has a much greater emphasis on precise breathing techniques. Qigong deals with smaller movements of the abdomen to circulate Qi and more precise movements of the hands, rooting into the earth and opening up pathways of energy. Yoga works with energy, but to a lesser degree, and although we practice and love yoga, Qigong does what Yoga cannot. We train many thousands of yoga teachers and they are always blown away by the tangibility of Qi experienced at our seminars.
