Why Qigong makes us feel better..part 1!

The nearest that the Western world can get to a definition of Qi, is bioelectricity and , since we can now measure significant bioelectrical  changes in our magnetic field when we do Qigong, this would seem to add up! All electrical currents create a magnetic field around them as they move. The systems of our bodies are no exception. The movement of our blood , pumped as it is by the heart and containing magnetized particles of, for example, iron, creates a magnetic field around us - as do many other automatic processes. What is extraordinary however is that the field around the hands of experienced Qigong practitioners increases in magnetic activity approximately 1,000 times after 15 minutes of practice. Experiments with Qigong masters and copper coils show that a master of Qigong can alter the electromagnetic environment at variable distances.

It is deceptively simple and yet effective at restoring parasympathetic response - a calmer way to greet the day! https://youtu.be/lIFptVqhhM0 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)
