Qigong Documentary: Ancient Healing for the 21st Century
This 55 minute documentary reveals Qigong’s fascinating origins and scientific evidence of it’s healing effects.
I am currently studying Wuji Qigong from a student of one of the masters featured in the documentary. I am excited to share this Qigong with you as soon as I have practiced it enough to be ready to teach.


Tai Chi and Qigong

Short documentary by National Center for Complimentary Medicine


Tai Chi for PTSD documentary
“Listen to the words of Vietnam veteran, Green Beret (and friend of Elle P) Lee Burkins in this video by Jacob White. It’s a short documentary made for a film class at the University of Texas, but a lot of you will be interested in what the man has to say. Some things are timeless – much of what Mr. Burkins remembers herein could just as easily come from someone 1/3 his age returning from overseas right now. We invite you to partake of his wisdom. It’s very likely, however, most of us might require additional life experience to see things the way he does.
He has an interesting take on what it is to be a warrior.”


The Physiology of Tai Chi and Qigong

Conscious Breathing makes powerful medicine within our own Body-Mind. Breathing purposefully is not only important for feeling better, living longer and preventing disease — it is also improves mood related body chemistry so we can work, sleep, produce, perform at our best.

Did you know that the lungs along with the pace and depth of the breath - in addition to absorbing oxygen into the blood - activate the immune system, soothe and calm the autonomic nervous system, shift the production of health inducing neurotransmitters, regulate brain and heart coordination, accelerate internal cleansing through increased lymph propulsion and MORE!

Pranayama from the Yoga and Ayurveda tradition and Qigong from tradition of traditional Chinese medicine are both focused on utilizing the breath for health sustainability, personal empowerment and even enlightenment.

Notice how much it costs and how easy it is to simply deepen your breath.

Take a look at these benefits – all supported by research -- of focused breath practice and deep breathing AND why it's simple and important for you to make this very accessible practice part of your daily self-care.

Research shows that breath practice can bring balance to your body's inherent self-healing capacities:

• Increases the relaxation response and vagal tone

• Increases energy levels

• Supports sleep

• Neutralizes inflammation

• Enhances natural internal antioxidant production

• Nourishes health telomere functionality

• Regulates the neurotransmitter milieu

• Increases homeostatic capacity

• Reduces anxiety and depression

• Decreases stress and overwhelm

• Strengthens immune system

• Improves mental concentration
