If you want to be healthy and live to one hundred, do qigong.
Stillness and action are relative, not absolute, principles. It is important to find a balance of yin and yang, not just in qigong, but in everyday life. In movement, seek stillness and rest. In rest, be mindful and attentive.
Qigong is the art and science of refining and cultivating internal energy.
