Tai Chi and QiGong (pronounced chee-gong) are Mind-Body exercises that originated in ancient China. They have been practiced by millions of people over the past several thousand years and are becoming increasingly popular in the West.

This is a graceful, flowing QiGong form. The original title is "The 18 Movements of Tai Chi QiGong" so you might also find information about it under this name.  

Smiling Heart QiGong works with our Heart (Fire) energy, and it helps us to feel happy and exude gratitude, and gives us a beautiful warm smile to share with others. It's an excellent form for Healers to work with because of the way it opens the Heart Center. Because of this, we do it daily in our Massage Therapy Program at Alaska Institute. One day, a student asked if we could start calling it Smiling Heart QiGong since that's what it does - makes your heart smile. Brilliant idea! So we've called it that ever since.

The movements are fairly easy for most people to follow. Be sure to do this to your own comfort level, and of course, sit down or take a break if you need to.

QiGong has many health benefits, so you may experience a benefit to high blood pressure, sleep better, have improved digestion, have better eyesight, and start to feel an underlying sense of happiness and peace.

Also included is a downloadable handout on the Energetics of Smiling Heart QiGong. The small fee for this helps our wonderful school provide this type of information on an ongoing basis, so thank you for your contribution to health!

Enjoy in Good Health,

~Cynthia McMullen, LMT, MQT, SM
