What is Bigu Qigong?
Dr. Qizhi Gao Question: What is Bigu Qigong for Weight Management? How does it work? What are the advantages of this method of weight loss? Answer: Qigong pronounced "chee gong" is an energy exercise that originated in China over 2000 years ago. The philosophical foundations of Qigong stipulate that a vital energy called Qi "chee" flows along pathways called meridians that link the internal organs with the other parts of the body. The meditation, visualization, breath and movement exercises used in Qigong seek to restore balance, break down blockages in the flow of Qi and re-establish a healthy supply of energy to diseased or distressed parts of the body. Bigu "Bee-goo" translates literally as "avoid (bi) the grain (gu). In practice it reflects the ability to live solely on energy without food. Bigu Qigong is a specific exercise designed for Weight Management. It consists of two exercises, one to control appetite and the other to assist the practitioner in retaining vital energy, relaxing the mind and body to overcome anxiety and mental stress. Bigu Qigong is a safe and effective method for weight that combines reducing caloric intake, non-strenuous exercise and behavior modification to achieve weight loss. Most people can practice Bigu Qigong and achieve good results under the guidance of an experienced practitioner.
