Qi gong India

Qigong or chi kung are English words for two Chinese characters: qì  and gōng .

Qi(or chi) is usually translated as life energy, lifeforce, or energy flow, and definitions often involve breath, air, gas, or relationship between matter, energy, and spirit. Qi is the central underlying principle in traditional Chinese medicine and martial arts. Gong (or kung) is often translated as work or practice, and definitions include skill, mastery, merit, achievement, service, result, or accomplishment.

The two words are combined to describe systems to cultivate and balance life energy, especially for health.
