If you’ve journeyed with psychedelics, you already know there’s more to this world than what meets the eye. Qi Gong (pronounced chee-gong) is an ancient energetic practice that offers a way to consciously explore and cultivate that subtle, living force—what Chinese philosophy calls chi. Think of it as the original energy work, a moving meditation that lets you tune into the invisible currents of life and learn to flow with them.
At its core, Qi Gong is rooted in Taoist philosophy, which views health, consciousness, and the universe as interconnected through the flow of chi—vital life energy. The Tao, or “the Way,” is the natural order of things, and Qi Gong helps align your body, breath, and spirit with that greater flow. It’s not just exercise—it’s a spiritual practice that encourages harmony with nature, balance between opposing forces (yin and yang), and cultivation of inner stillness.
Rather than chasing peak experiences, Qi Gong invites you to refine your awareness day by day. Through gentle, deliberate movements, coordinated breath, and mindful presence, it teaches you to feel energy as it moves through your system—something many psychonauts have felt intuitively during altered states, but may not yet know how to cultivate intentionally.
Philosophically, Qi Gong views the human being as a microcosm of the universe—*a bridge between Earth and Sky*! Practicing it reconnects you to your body not as a shell, but as a vessel of consciousness, capable of transformation and spiritual growth. The movements may seem simple, but the effects run deep: better energy flow, emotional healing, grounded awareness, and—over time—a kind of quiet inner power that radiates outward.
If you’ve touched the infinite, and now seek to walk in it more fully and sustainably, Qi Gong offers a grounded, sacred path.
@dreamer042 and I practice Qi Gong every weekday morning, and it’s become a vital anchor for our energy and mental clarity. Our favorite guide is Brother Insight, a Shaolin monk. His top video is a perfect place to start:
