The Difference Between Tai Chi and Qi Gong

Tai Chi and Qi Gong are like cousins; they both incorporate qi and energy.
Tai Chi is generally stricter in sequence, detail oriented, and has a long learning curve. It can be difficult to learn and satisfying to perfect the form over time.
Qi Gong is a lot more fluid and it’s generally not sequential. It has a shorter learning curve, you can feel the benefits and energy right away.
Once you feel the energy and it comes into your body, it’s yours forever to change and express in your own way.

I do not study tai chi, so I cannot speak on it, though I've taken a few classes & the benefits are quite lovely. I am a chi gung instructor and offer both medical and spiritual chi gung practice. Chi gung requires knowledge of TCM, the meridian system and 5 element theory. The practice of medical chi gung is to purge, tonify and regulate the flow of chi through the meridian system, to achieve vitality and good health. The gentle movements hold these intentions... Intention, being the 3rd rule of chi gung. Posture and breath are the other two.
When doing chi gung, feeling the pulse, breath and flow of chi is an excellent way to connect mind and body. I refer to chi gung as a moving meditation. It is a simple yet powerful practice.

Did you mean to say Qi Gong is easier to learn?

[@BalanceForLife]

Yes! I misspoke - Qigong is almost certainly easier to learn :) Good catch!
