Our bodies have three important energy centers where bundles of nerves are concentrated: your belly, your heart, and your head. In Qigong, these centers are called dantians. Over the past 25 years, new research and applications in physiology, psychology, biology, neuroscience, and interpersonal neurobiology have confirmed that the health of these three centers influences perception, mood, stress, emotions, thoughts, wellness, behaviors, and actions. Neural pathways throughout the nervous system, including your spine and vagus nerves, connect all of your organs, fascia, muscles, and circulation, sending signals between your brain and your viscera. Energy wants to move and circulate, and this intricate system navigates attention, stress, awareness, and your responses to life's ups and downs — from the inside out. Practicing qigong is like doing calisthenics for every system inside your body, revitalizing mind, body, spirit, and soul!
