About Qigong for Winter Wellness
The intent for qigong during the winter is to draw energy into the core of the body, to consolidate the energy in the core to support the organs, the channels, and overall energy of the body. From there, the aim is to allow that energy to lift and hold the body upright, and then from there to take tension away, to allow that tension to settle down and out of the body
