Why qigong makes us feel better ...part 2!

So why does Qigong in particular make us feel better?

Yesterday I posted about the benefits of manipulating biomagnetism. This movement can be measured during a qigong session and causes expansion in the body.... so blood, lymph and nerve pathways are more effective.

It is true to say that many practitioners and healers would seem to manipulate biomagnetism. So why qigong in particular?

In 2006 a study by Windrider isolated the practice of ‘witnessing’ – emotional awareness without involvement - in addition to visioning (intention), as profoundly changing ones ability to emit Qi or bioelectricity from ones hands. This Qi emission has been shown to calm anxious animals,  accelerate wound healing and generally promote wellness.
QIGONG forms typically have all the right ingredients  – visioning, relaxation, witnessing the breath and slow movement.

I am observing how the bodies defences weaken when we are in shock and grief. I have just experienced the death of a beloved cat. Moving house, changing jobs and the big one..climate change all take their toll on our systemic health. We should be quiet, stay still .... and then here is a gentle movement system based on Oriental Medicine to support and nurture the step back into life. https://youtu.be/WYhlxlIvZLw

Qigong and Alpha Waves - Us and the Earth

There is a fair amount of research, some by the Institute of Aviation, about the brain waves of regular Qigong Practitioners. Most fascinating to me is that the more proficient a practitioner is, the nearer to 8Hz frequency are the alpha waves. There is a so-called Humannwave at the frequency of 7.83 amongst the Earth's magnetic field. Qigong becomes a practice which illustrates Chinese Medical Theory  "Heaven and Man are united in Oneness''. Xie, Huan Zhang The scientific Basis for Qigong, 1989

Qigong and Neurotransmitters

Qigong has an effect on the electrical  activity of the brain and there is well documented evidence around this. Specifically 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) increases (2 to 3 times in regular practitioners) in the Central Nervous System. Simply put this chemical intervention increases Serotonin. The implications are greater immunity, less need for food intake and better sleep. 5-HTP is imbalanced in Bi-polar and Schizophrenic patients. It is also implicated in Parkinson's disease where the production of dopamine is imbalanced - Qigong is increasingly becoming the exercise of choice for such patients. Lin Yagu.
