One Kathy's students favorite things about Qigong is our playful integration of imagination into the practices. Research suggests that a strong imagination can be beneficial for balancing the nervous system, particularly through techniques like guided imagery. This is because imagination can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and counteracting the stress response. Movement and deep, synchronous breathing also regulate your whole nervous system. Qigong and breathwork are a powerful, evidence-based, effective approach to self-care and stress management. More importantly, regular practice helps you sustain your choices to live a healthier, more vibrant, connected, curious, resilient, and fulfilling life. • Practice gentle, subtle, and effective skills to release tension and stress • Strengthen self-awareness and empathy • Improve relationships and become a better communicator • Increase creativity, focus, and wisdom and live with more ease • Break bad habits and heal trauma stored in the body Keep in mind the other benefits of regular practice: • Optimal health and wellness • Attention training • Stronger relationships and bonding • Improved executive functioning • Increased energy and stamina • Restful sleep • Improved mood • Reduced inflammation and chronic pain • Improved flexibility, balance, and agility • Feeling centered and grounded
