The word "qi" (or "chi") means "life force" or "vital energy of the body," and "gong" means accomplishment or skill that is cultivated through steady practice. QiGong is specifically designed to cultivate the body's vital energy, using it to heal and strengthen every system throughout the body. Thus, qi gong means "cultivating energy," and it involves working with energy to strengthen and cleanse the body.
