Millions of people have been using Qigong for weight loss

By Wu Chan

Is your weight affecting your health, maybe it is just a bit harder to climb the stairs or chase after your toddler when they run after the dog. There are usually signs in your every day life that tell you it is time to look at losing some of the extra weight you have been carrying.

Dieting for a month or even two just doesn't work, the only way to lose weight with qigong (or anything else) is to embrace it and make it part of your daily life.

Qigong is not some new fad, millions of people have been using it for thousands of years. Many of them practice it every day to help keep their life in balance, losing weight with qigong isn't the only reason to take it up but it certainly can't hurt.

Morbid obesity used to be a real rarity, over the last couple of years it seems to have become the norm, and it will only get worse unless we all take control of our lives. Qigong is a natural path to both bodily health and mental equilibrium, making qigong part of your daily rituals will not only help you lose weight naturally it will also help your mind stay calm and centred.

Your weight probably took years to increase from a comfortable weight to the point it is at today where you have finally come to realize that it is time to do something about it. The thing that you really need to realize is that only a change in your lifestyle will enable you to not only lose the extra weight but to make sure it doesn't come back again.

Goals are good for people who want to lose weight, that's what everyone says isn't it? Well maybe everyone is wrong. Rather than making huge goals that seem to be so unobtainable that they become demotivators rather than motivators make one specific one. "I will practice my Qigong for 20 minutes 3 times a week for the next month" . Easy to do and when you have been doing that for a month you can then extend the time or frequency of your qigong sessions.

Qigong is a natural and healthy way to lose weight and live your life, it isn't some fad that Dr's will find is actually doing as much harm as good at some time in the future. Taking part in one diet and then doing a different one a month later is not good for your body. Your body and your mind need consistency and a permanently healthy lifestyle will help them in that aspect.

Making qigong a part of your weight loss regime is probably one of the best ideas you can make. You are now taking charge of your life and your weight loss will come if you stick with your qigong program. - 14130
