Qigong helps develop human awareness.
Qigong for self-cultivation can be classified in terms of traditional Chinese philosophy: Taoist, Buddhist, and Confucian
 Typically the cautions associated with qigong are the same as those associated with any physical activity, including risk of muscle strains or sprains, advisability of stretching to prevent injury, general safety for use alongside conventional medical treatments, and consulting with a physician when combining with conventional treatment
