Grasping Qi & Qigong: Understanding the Foundations of Qigong Through Tradition and Science

Course overview

Grasping Qi & Qigong is a self-paced educational course designed to introduce learners to the fundamental principles of Qigong practice. The course explores classical concepts such as Qi, Jing, Shen, and the three Dan Tian, and explains how these ideas correspond with modern understandings of physiology, neuroscience, and bioelectrical regulation. Learners are introduced to the Qigong mind-state known as Ru Jing (entering stillness), examining how focused awareness and calm attention influence nervous system regulation and internal coherence.
