Qigong
Qigong (pronounced chi-kung) is an aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) involving set patterns of bodily movement and postures coordinated with specific breathing techniques. Qigong is usually practiced to increase bodily self-awareness and to harness the body’s innate abilities to heal.
Qigong is a calming and restorative practice and can be described as ‘meditation in motion’. Regular practice of Qigong can be beneficial in the management of stress, anxiety or depression.
At The Sanctuary Byron Bay, our Qigong teachers will introduce you to personalised Qigong routines to:
- help you gain awareness of your body and breath;
- enhance your own abilities to soothe anxiety or mental agitation through gentle, slow movement; and
- promote relaxation and ease.
Testimonials
“ ….I have spent years trying every different type of anxiety treatment available. In the main they were mostly drug and alcohol treatment programs that also dealt with anxiety. This was not appropriate as I was neither an alcoholic nor did I use drugs. I am a mother of four grown children and my anxiety issues have stopped me from living a normal life. I recently spent four weeks at the Sanctuary where I dealt with the underlying issues behind my anxiety and had the pleasure of my family visiting me throughout the program. I feel so blessed to have found such a special place to heal…..” AP 51 years old
