Qigong and Anxiety

There is much research available as to the effects of regular qigong practice on mental health.
The effect on the kidneys (and so adrenals) of this slow meditative movement is the most significant.
Just a little a day and the effect is cumulative.

Here is The Iron Bridge Qigong. It is deceptively simple and yet effective at restoring parasympathetic response - a calmer way to greet the day!

Here's some research references:

Anxiety decreased significantly for participants practicing Qigong compared to an active
exercise group (Cheung et al., 2005; M. Lee et al., 2003; Tsai et al., 2003). Depression was
shown to improve significantly in studies comparing Qigong to an inactive control, newspaper
reading (H. W. H. Tsang et al., 2006) and for Tai Chi compared to usual care, psychosocial
support or stretching/education controls (Chou et al., 2004; Mustian et al., 2006; C. Wang et al.,
2005). General measures of mood (e.g, Profile of Mood States) were improved significantly for
participants practicing Tai Chi compared to usual care controls (Galantino et al., 2005; Gemmell
& Leathem, 2006; Jin, 1992) and for those practicing Qigong compared to a wait list control
group (M. S. Lee, Lim et al., 2004).
