What is Shaolin Cosmos Qigong?
Shaolin Cosmos Qigong (also known as chi kung) is a 1,500-year-old art of harnessing and cultivating energy. Its origins trace back to the Venerable Bodhidharma at the legendary Shaolin Monastery in China.
In Chinese, “Qi” means energy, and “Gong” means art or skill. Together, Qigong translates to the “art of energy.” This can also mean the art of cultivating energy or developing skills in using energy to foster a healthy, happy, and vibrant life.
Venerable Bodhidharma
This is how my Shaolin Grandmaster, Wong Kiew Kit describes Qigong, also known as Chi Kung.
What is Chi Kung
“Chi Kung, which is spelled as “Qigong” in Romanized Chinese, is the art of developing cosmic energy, the very energy that sustains all our functions and movements in life.
The many benefits of Chi Kung can be classified into four main areas:
- Promotes physical and emotional health;
- Develops fitness and vitality, which is used not only in martial arts and sports but also in our daily work and play;
- Ensures longevity;
- Enhances mental freshness.
There are three main approaches to achieving these aims, namely, graceful body exercises to achieve health, breathing techniques to develop vitality, and meditation to train the mind. These approaches are integrated, though there are differences of emphasis at different levels or for different needs.
There are many types or schools of Chi Kung. There is also a wide range of quality achieved, as well as the benefits aimed at. Most types are mainly concerned with health, some with martial arts, and only a few advanced Chi Kung types deal with mind development. Our school of Chi Kung is called Shaolin Cosmos Chi Kung, which is exceedingly deep and extensive.”

“Good health is our birth-right. We are by nature healthy… As we are by nature healthy, illness is an unnatural state. This means that illness, any illness, is temporary and can be rectified.”

For those already in good health, Qigong takes physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being to extraordinary levels. It energises your entire being, allowing you to approach life with vitality and zest.
Stress, often called the silent epidemic of modern times, is a major contributor to illness and disease. Through Qigong, you can cultivate emotional equanimity and resilience, enabling you to navigate life’s challenges with grace and composure.
Furthermore, enhanced awareness opens the door to profound personal growth. Whether it’s improving relationships, breaking free from limiting habits, or exploring new dimensions of your potential, Qigong provides the tools to live more fully and authentically.
Practitioners of genuine Qigong frequently live beyond 80 years while remaining vibrant and active. More importantly, they embody a deep sense of aliveness, experiencing life with greater happiness, peace, joy, and freedom.
How does Chi Kung give us vitality? How does Chi Kung enable us to work tirelessly, play well and enjoy our leisure with zest. The secret is energy. A person who has little or no energy will not be able to work, play or even enjoy buoyantly. The main purpose of Chi Kung is to develop energy, the energy that gives us the vitality for joyous living.
