This type emphasizes the cultivation of the mind, spirit, and wisdom through meditation, visualization, and philosophical contemplation to attain a deeper understanding of life and the self.
Martial Qigong
This type emphasizes the development of physical and energetic aspects of martial arts applications through exercises to enhance strength, agility, balance, and energy flow.
