The goal of qigong may be summarized as xing ming shuang xiu,spirit and body equally refined and cultivated. Cultivate your whole being, as you would cultivate a garden with attention, care, and even love.
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.
The more qi-full you are, the more cheerful you are.
Qigong is the art and science of refining and cultivating internal energy.

A cup of tea is a cup of peace.
Qigong is a jewel that has many facets.
