Qigong is an energy cultivation practices. With qigong you’re doing these mindful movements that stimulate the flow of energy through your body, and you can feel it very tangibly. This is not a mystical thing. There is nothing mystical about internal energy any more than there is about electricity. The fact. is that most people haven’t experienced it, so the have no reference point for it. Well, no one had experienced electricity until it was discovered and now we don't think twice about it. I know it’s the same with internal energy. It’s just a matter of experiencing it.
