Many people have heard about the exhilaration and high that often follows long-distance running. This can be attributed to the release of natural pain killing substances called endorphins and enkephalins, very similar to opium. People also report feeling better simply from doing an exercise workout due to getting more oxygen to the brain, moving waste products out of the cells and getting the natural flows of the body moving.

There is another way to feel better, which can be done without special equipment or space requirements. This method comes from the Chinese and is thousands of years old, predates acupuncture and is designed to improve health. One of the many different forms of this method, chi gong or qigong, looks deceptively simple but the movements affect the life force in the body similar to acupuncture without needles. Chi gong improves the function of organs and gets blood, air and other bodily fluids moving more efficiently and effectively.
