Work With The Three Treasures
The word "Qigong", literally translated from Chinese, means "Energy Work". Qigong theory is based on the principle that all life is essentially energy in various forms, and that our human body mind is part of the vast matrix of energy that comprises the Universe. The basic components (or levels) of this energy is called the Three Treasures.
