One World, One Breath

In 1999 a global event was born that has now expanded to hundreds of cities in over 70 nations, a global family of personal and global healing health education events held every year... 

World T'ai Chi & Qigong Day... coordinates a global health education effort to expand the use of T'ai Chi and Qigong into society on many levels: healthcare, corporate wellness, prison and drug rehabilitation, public education, senior care, and much more. 

The free Medical Research Library at www.WorldTaiChiDay.org provides evidence of how these mind-body tools can save global society trillions of dollars annually in future health costs. 

You'll find a global T'ai Chi and Qigong teacher directory... [with] local contact information. 

You'll also find free online lessons, learning and teaching tips, and much more. 

The motto of the global event is "One World ... One Breath." 

Qigong means "breathing exercise in Chinese.

Qigong - or Chi Kung - basically means the cultivation, development or study of our life energy.  Some practitioners focus on this.  T'ai Chi is the broader, more elaborate practice, which also includes Qigong.  Qigong may very well look like T'ai Chi, because it relies on proper movement, posture and breathing.  For the most part, they're the same.  But I believe it's good to know how they are different and related.

Moreover, chi is sometimes spoken of as breath, which it is, as part of our broader life energy.

That said, I cannot say enough about how good this annual, worldwide event is.
