Qigong in the Modern World: A Relief for a Stressed-Out Society

Qigong has been practiced in China for thousands of years, and it is still extremely relevant today as a solution to the health issues of modern people. The article "Why Qigong is growing in popularity" on Heather Yoga's website discusses the reasons behind this growing demand.

"Qigong (pronounced chi gong) is a traditional Chinese healing system of movement, breathing, and meditation techniques that has been around for thousands of years, yet it's significantly lesser known than the Indian tradition of yoga, however, with the ever-increasing pressures of modern society, and the rising demand to constantly be connected online and tethered to our phones, this looks set to change, with Qigong, or 'energy work', becoming an increasingly popular modality of choice to disconnect and rebalance.

It'll come as no surprise that there's an upward trajectory of people living in a high state of anxiety, and stress has become an inevitable part of a busy, modern-day life. To an extent, stress does serve a purpose by alerting us to threatening situations, provoking an appropriate reaction, and as such has allowed the human race to survive and evolve, however, if our stress response levels are continually heightened in our daily lives, and we're unable to return to a resting state, this can have numerous implications on our health and state of mind.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, every symptom in our body is telling us something, and if left untreated, it will eventually manifest in energy blockages, which will ultimately result in physical or mental illnesses. Our energy flow can get stuck due to a number of reasons, with stress being one of them. This theory, which sits at the heart of the various lineages of Qigong, is becoming more and more relevant and resonant with an overtly stressed-out society, with more people looking to this ancient practice to restore their vital energy flow, and thus reaping the holistic healing benefits that the Chinese have experienced over thousands of years."

Our June cover star Dame Kelly Holmes recently shared a poignant reminder of why looking after your mental health is so important, and keeping up the fight no matter the pressures you might put on yourself...⁠
⁠
"I believe now it’s more important to find happiness in the present moment—eyes wide open, understanding what you want, who you want around you, and how you want to live your life.⁠
⁠
We can’t change what’s already happened⁠
⁠
We don’t know what the future holds⁠
⁠
BUT⁠
⁠
We can fully experience the here and now."⁠
⁠
Mid-week reminder to check in with yourself 💗⁠
