QiGong emphasizes cultivating and balancing energy (Qi) through mindful gentle movements, deep diaphragmatic breathing, and relaxation. It is simple to learn and is ideal for quick relaxation and stress relief.

Is it effective for managing stress and anxiety? Yes! QiGong’s high effectiveness for managing stress and anxiety is well supported by multiple studies:

• Simple Routines: Physical exercises and long, slow, deep breathing can quickly reduce stress and anxiety in just 10 minutes daily.

• Grounding Movements: Techniques involving slow, downward, and inward hand motions help calm scattered energy associated with anxiety.

• Relaxation Benefits: QiGong promotes relaxation, reduces cortisol levels, and improves mood through increased alpha brainwave activity. 

How soon after practicing QiGong will I see results?

• Immediate Relief: The effects of Qigong on stress and anxiety can be felt immediately following a single session, since Qigong can reduce a state of anxiety by improving body balance and calming the autonomic nervous system.

• Sustained Benefits: Regular practice (e.g., 30–60 minutes, 2–3 times per week) over 6–12 weeks significantly reduces anxiety and stress symptoms, with effects lasting up to a month after practice ends.
