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

Resilience

Everyday for the past 30 days I have practiced a daily list making activity. One list is of things to be grateful for, the other of what went well today. I am not the first to do this simple practice nor the first to notice the remarkable resilience this affords me in times of trouble. www.qigongcoach.net
