Watch / practice: Two videos to help you release energy and Qi associated to trauma and anxiety with Qigong
How to heal trauma and have compassion?
“The body takes on trauma as contracted energy and it is stored in the body, brain and system, and deeply in organs and tissues. So this stuck energy is continuously effecting our functions, including health and emotional responses to life – intense fear, anxiety, worry, sadness, depression, or feeling of unhappiness in general. Contracted energy from traumatic experience is continually effecting us.
Life happened in the past and you cannot change it… You can come back to your body and yourself by forgiving yourself and forgiving your body, deeply going into your body and movements. Particular sounds and vibrations of sound change energy. To release stagnated energy caused by past effects, then you’re opening up a greater capacity to heal and become whole again. You’re connecting part of you which is suppressed from this traumatic experience. You are able to integrate this into your life, you feel good and a sense of connection. From his place you are able to forgive others and feel compassion for life in general.” – Mingtong Gu

Practice: Qigong for Anxiety, Trauma release and Recovery with Rosemary Biraghi
From Wikipedia:
Qigong, qi gong, chi kung, or chi gung (simplified Chinese: 气功; traditional Chinese: 氣功; pinyin: qìgōng; Wade–Giles: chi gong; literally: “Life Energy Cultivation”) is a holistic system of coordinated body posture and movement, breathing, and meditation used for health, spirituality, and martial arts training. With roots in Chinese medicine, philosophy, and martial arts, qigong is traditionally viewed as a practice to cultivate and balance qi (chi), translated as “life energy”.[1]
According to Taoist, Buddhist, and Confucian philosophy, qigong allows access to higher realms of awareness, awakens one’s “true nature”, and helps develop human potential.[2]
Qigong practice typically involves moving meditation, coordinating slow flowing movement, deep rhythmic breathing, and calm meditative state of mind. Qigong is now practiced throughout China and worldwide for recreation, exercise and relaxation, preventive medicine and self-healing, alternative medicine, meditation and self-cultivation, and training for martial arts.
