There is a lot of good stuff on youtube and elsewhere online where you can read about it or watch videos, and of course there are a lot of good books. Sometimes you'd be surprised what's available at public libraries.
If you're doing qigong in a standing position, your posture is really important, big part of the equation. It's good to practice standing meditation, with your arms either hovering in front of one of the dantians, or relaxed at the sides; practice sinking into the lower dantian and the legs/earth, while at the same time floating your head/upper dantian upward, stretching the spine, all with minimal effort. Finding your center there allows qigong to be effective. Seated meditation/qigong posture is similar, whether on a chair or on the floor
In either case (standing/sitting), it's important to practice nei gong, the more passive/internal/low-physical movement element of qigong that involves moving qi directly with the mind or the yi (heart-mind intention/imagination). This practice lets you build up internal power and become more adept at using qi, and is amplified when physical movement/breathing are added in. This is all mostly the practice of internal bodily awareness, but that leads to building and revivification of the qi, and thus has physiological/psychological/spiritual/etc. impacts
