Notas del editor
&quot;Qigong&quot; has existed for a long time, but it did not become popular until the 1950s when it gained public acceptance over other traditional and more abstruse terms until recently. However, there is still much misunderstanding of Qigong due to some conceptual confusion.
These terms are self-explanatory and are indicative of Qigong’s origins in internalized self-care exercises and life-nurturing activities.
Let me give two examples of early proof of qigong meditation in Chinese history… The description on the jade pendant is very similar to the Daoist art of Internal-Elixir qigong, practiced in modern time.
Adjustment also implies regulating or alignment.
To understand the differences among various qigong, there are different ways to classify qigong: Confucian qigong – e.g. sitting and forgetting; Buddhism qigong – Zen, Min, Tiantai Daoism – Taiji, art of inner elixir, Cosmo Circulation Qigong Medical --- Six healing sounds, lowering blood pressure qigong, eye-brightening qigong, Martial-art – eight peace of brocade, E Mei 12 Stances, Shaolin Inner Boxing, Difference traditionals have different purpose of cultivation, with different technique or combination of breathing-mind-body integrations.
Shorten to the essence – medical qigong is qigong directed by the teacher and student toward health
It is important for a beginner to know what s/he want from qigong before starting or choosing the right form.
(2) relaxation (completely relax without falling asleep), tranquility (quite and concentrate, ignore surroundings) and naturalness (follow the natural way both physically and emotionally, without wants and strong intentions).

Until today scientists still have problem detecting properly with all the advanced equipment…

Is Qigong meditation more effective in reducing stress than regular relaxation exercise?
Delete – you already said a lot of this
shorten
Distinguish here between external and internal qigong studies – easy to find control for external qigong studies.
If you have this slide, I would take out slide above of effects on cancer/rats.
What are the known mechanism of meditative therapy for stress management?
Drop – how many people and who are doing qigong of all these – this slide is really misleading Kevin – who are these people?
