| 520 | |a Qigong, like other Eastern techniques such as yoga and mindfulness meditation, has been shown to be beneficial for mental and physical health and has been a topic of debate in academic and scientific literature in recent decades. Qigong, which has been practised in China since ancient times, is becoming increasingly popular in the West. This article first examines the philosophical and spiritual roots of Qigong and how it has evolved in modernity. Second, it focuses on wellbeing-related issues based on the experiences of the researchers and practitioners who worked with clients ranging from members of Generation Z to older adults. Qigong practitioners frequently describe their technique as delivering a sense of inner serenity, relaxation, and mental clarity. Third, I challenge the various Qigong presumptions that are problematic in mainstream Western medical science, drawing on a variety of examples. Medical Qigong claims to boost cognitive capacities and concentration and provide physical benefits such as greater strength, balance and flexibility, as well as a sense of wellbeing. Stress and anxiety levels are also said to be reduced, according to studies. These claims, and the location of Qigong in the contemporary Western spiritual landscape, are evaluated. | ||
