Qigong exercise can be a wonderful tool to release old energetic patterns and tension caused by traumas of all types. When we practice Qigong, we give ourselves the gift of time and tools to process and heal. Using deep breathing, slow and flowing movement, and calm mental focus, we can relax our mind and slowly release emotional tension and trauma.

In our fast-paced lives, it can be challenging to find enough time to process everything that happens to us, let alone heal our deepest traumas from the past. Unfortunately, these old injuries can sometimes force themselves into our consciousness and demand attention. Having the tools to calm yourself and avoid becoming overly excited, anxious, or emotional can be invaluable in these moments.

Qigong can be a wonderful way to slow down our minds when things are happening too quickly for us to adjust to, understand, or harmonize with. By giving ourselves mental strength and space, we can emotionally process and release fear, anger, anxiety, and negative thought patterns, revealing our natural, balanced state of mind. While emotional processing is not the true purpose of Qigong, it should be a normal and easy part of a well-ordered life.

Qigong practice can help you stay relaxed, balanced, and harmonious. By being centered and grounded from a great early morning Qigong session, you’ll be better equipped to meet anything that happens throughout the day with a wiser and more balanced response. A good Qigong practice can build strong positive energy based on a calm, clear mental determination to help others and be your best self.

Building courage and self-confidence based on actual self-defense skills can help reduce anxiety and fear in all situations. Xingyiquan, or “Form and Will Boxing,” emphasizes the development of willpower and a strong mind as core features of its training. Xingyiquan is known for its sudden, powerful strikes. During solo practice, you continuously advance with each strike and stance. When practicing with a partner, you gain hands-on experience using and escaping from a variety of techniques.

By practicing with a partner, you develop real, practical skills to defend yourself from dangerous or mentally unstable people. Knowing that you have reliably dodged thousands of punches and kicks, and successfully escaped or reversed your partner’s attempts, builds true confidence. Recognizing that these skills are real because you have carefully and systematically cultivated them, so you can depend on them in a moment of true need, further strengthens your emotional resilience.

Martial arts are famous for building mental strength and concentration, which are valuable skills throughout life. Feeling confident and relaxed emotionally because you are physically safe changes the way you interact with others. When you feel confident, fearless, and relaxed, people notice and respond to you differently, leading to more harmonious and pleasant interactions.

Tui Na Massage can help the recipient achieve emotional balance and resilience by assisting in the processing and release of muscular tension and residual trauma. Giving a Tui Na massage can also be emotionally balancing and healing for the practitioner.

When you learn Tui Na massage, you can help your friends and family. It is wonderful to be able to effectively relieve the pain of someone you love. Providing this relief through Tui Na massage builds trust and deepens your bond with them. In our modern lives, many people feel disconnected from making a clear, positive impact on the world. When you help someone with Tui Na massage, they are grateful, and it feels good for everyone involved.

As your Tui Na skills grow through practice, you may be able to help someone avoid a trip to the emergency room for a minor injury or even major spinal surgery with a proper series of treatments. Knowing that you are making a difference and improving the world in a clear and unmistakable way is satisfying, empowering, and healing.
