Finding Stillness in the Storm: Qigong for Trauma Healing

Qigong, an ancient Chinese practice, is a beautiful blend of gentle movement, deep breathing, and meditation. It’s not about strenuous exercise; it’s about cultivating a harmonious flow of energy (Qi) throughout your body.

How Qigong Can Help Heal Trauma:

• Calming the Nervous System: Trauma can leave our nervous systems in a constant state of hyperarousal. Qigong’s slow, deliberate movements and deep, rhythmic breathing help to regulate the nervous system, promoting a sense of calm and grounding.
• Releasing Trapped Emotions: Trauma often leads to the suppression of emotions. Qigong’s gentle movements can help to release these pent-up emotions, allowing for a sense of catharsis and emotional release.
• Cultivating Mindfulness: By focusing on the present moment, Qigong helps to quiet the mind’s constant chatter. This increased awareness can help to break the cycle of intrusive thoughts and flashbacks often associated with trauma.
• Increasing Body Awareness: Qigong gently guides you to become more aware of your body’s sensations. This heightened awareness can help to identify areas of tension and release physical manifestations of trauma.
• Boosting Self-Esteem: As you begin to experience the positive effects of Qigong – increased energy, improved mood, and a greater sense of peace – your self-esteem and confidence can begin to flourish.
