Chi Gong is basically a energy exercise using breathing and focus. I learned that there are several different types of Chi Gong like creating a Chi energy ball, standing Chi Gong, and moving Chi Gong.
I learned that many eastern civilizations (such as China and Korea) believed in Chi Gong and used it to help with illness, fitness, achieve a more peaceful state of mind, and prevent disease.
During the Chi Gong exercise I did not really like the part where we had to stay in one place standing for a long time, because my legs started to get tired of standing in one place for so long. However I did enjoy the exercise where we were moving because I think the exercise helped me wake up a little more and got my energy going. I also liked the meditation time a lot because even though it was only five minutes I just relaxed, and when I opened my eyes I felt so refreshed and I felt like I had more energy.
I think that i could take any part of what we did in the Chi Gong class and used it during school I would want to do a few minutes of relaxation. I would want to do the relaxation because it helped me forget everything I was stressing about and when I opened my eyes I felt refreshed and ready to do most anything.
Overall I thought that the exercise was really fun, and was a good way for me to learn about a part of the Eastern world, and be able to apply something I did to my life and the ancient China.
